William & Catherine: Putting Family First – 17 May on Channel 5

Channel 5 will air William & Catherine: Putting Family First, a documentary examining the Prince and Princess of Wales’ approach to royal life, on Saturday, May 17, at 7:30 PM.

The film contends that William and Catherine are reshaping royal norms by emphasizing their family life, sometimes ahead of traditional duties to the crown. It utilizes in-depth interviews with individuals who have worked for the royals, alongside rarely seen archive footage, to support its perspective.

The program will look at how the couple is choosing a different path, influenced by lessons from past royal experiences, and how their “hands-on” parenting style for Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis is redefining service to the crown. This includes rejecting the traditional “stiff upper lip” and encouraging their children in activities like cooking in the royal kitchen. The documentary suggests these choices may be pivotal for the monarchy’s future.
