Charles Windsor is the most English heir to the British throne since his ancestor Henry VIII. Despite the constant media circus surrounding him, the question remains: who really is this man of duty? Still a prince and still waiting, even as he arrives at what for most people would be the respectful age of retirement.
Often, almost despite himself, he has been trapped in ritual obligations that bind him like a straitjacket.
Yet managing to go beyond the stiff, formal settings of weddings, funerals and festivities that set the pace of Court life, Charles Windsor has forged his own destiny – one which sets him on a course of action, refusing the comfort of just idling around. He has challenged the Establishment, led his own crusades, and freed his speech from the Constitutional rules that he found too strict.
There is still much to discover about this prince we all thought we knew too well.
“Charles, the Destiny of a Prince” draws an in length portrait, ranging form Charles’ youth as a shy pupil at boarding school, till today when, at the head of numerous trusts, he is intensely involved in all major concerns facing modern contemporary societies.
This chronological approach based on the use of extensive and unique archival footage offers viewers the first board perspective on the makings of a future King through countless encounters and varied experience. They all participate in the weaving of his own personal tapestry, set on the backdrop of British society as a whole, since the birth of this most unusual and privileged baby boomer till today.
