Should Prince William Have Been The King? | Royal Rivals or Father & Son | Timeline

This original programme asks how Charles and William have stayed so visibly fond of each other. A generous son to his father, and a great role model for his brother, William was always an enormous comfort for his mother. The death of a mother, the alienation of a wife and a lover in the background – these striking events somehow have not broken the love of these two men – father and son.

Unlike Charles, William is a man of his time and perhaps here is where the rivalry could emerge – what sort of image should the King have in an increasingly modern and multicultural Britain?
