Bangers and Cash indie Air TV has secured a pair of feature-length doc commissions from 5 about the Prince of Wales, Prince William.
Prince William: Passion, Honour, Duty and Prince William: A Life In Pictures examine the future king’s life through extensive archive and expert interviews, and pinpoint the key moments that have influenced him and shaped his sense of duty.
The orders are Air TV’s second and third commissions from the broadcaster following last year’s five parter Cumbria: The Lakes and The Coast.
Both docs were commissioned by Federico Ruiz for 5/Paramount+ and are exec produced by Morland Sanders, with Ross Curran series producing.
Ruiz said: “It’s no secret that we love the royals at 5. We’re always on the lookout for fresh new takes on royal stories. These two films from Air TV bring their unique approach to documenting Prince William’s remarkable life.”
Sanders added: “It’s fantastic to continue our blossoming relationship with 5 by providing these fascinating insights into our future king. By working closely with our friends at Getty, Air TV’s filmmakers have been able to unlock a treasure trove of quality archive to make royal history elegantly engaging for the 5 audience.”
Prince William: Passion, Honor, Duty will be available to watch and stream from Saturday 21st June on 5 and Prince William: A Life in Pictures will air later this year.
