- Mum!
E1Mum!"It's a boy!" That was the headline in the tabloids when William was born in June 1982, immediately placing him second in line to the throne. The prince's childhood was overshadowed by his parents' marital strife and the media's intrusive interest in the scandals within the House of Windsor. During his parents' separation and divorce, William became increasingly close to his mother. Her tragic death in a car accident in August 1997 marked a profound and defining turning point in William's life. - Kiss me Kate
E2Kiss me KateThe young prince sought a normal life – and found it at the Scottish University of St. Andrews with his fellow student Catherine Middleton. But love in the royal family is not a private matter, but a political act. William's eventual marriage to commoner Kate in 2011 symbolized the spirit of renewal within the House of Windsor after the problems of the 1990s. - Big Brother
E3Big BrotherEverything seems to be falling into place: marriage, children, the role of a socially engaged heir to the throne. But it is precisely his own family that becomes a test of endurance. The rift with his brother Harry leaves deep scars. The death of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in 2022, growing criticism of the monarchy, and the cancer diagnoses of Kate and King Charles in 2024 put William under additional pressure. Outwardly, he maintains his composure—but how long can he keep it up when his private life remains in turmoil?
