Prince William to star in his own landmark reality series in major blow to sulking brother Harry

PRINCE William is to front a fly on the wall documentary following him as heir to the throne — in a landmark first and a major blow to his sulking brother.

The future monarch has invited ITV’s cameras to join him as he travels the country on a homelessness initiative.

It will give the public their most intimate and candid insight yet into Wills, 40, and his family.

The serious and responsible TV appearances will focus on life as a working senior royal — and be in stark contrast to Prince Harry’s countless bombshell interviews and documentary appearances, which he has used to devastate his family and the historic institution.

ITV chiefs hope a successful first run this summer — highlighting William’s passionate work on a major new homelessness project — will lead to further instalments.

A TV source said: “This is pretty extraordinary — it’s never been done before.

“Generally access to senior royals is very limited and totally controlled, but William clearly wants to change that.

“He’s keen to highlight his work, particularly on a homeless project which was a subject very close to his mother’s heart, and to connect with the public on a new level.

“He knows all too well how important it is that the monarchy develops a more modern relationship with the British people.

“TV is a great way to do that, but this is a dramatic contrast to what Harry has been doing.

“William has invited cameras to follow him as he fulfils his duties, giving a proper insight into himself and his work as Prince of Wales — this isn’t anything like his brother’s TV appearances.”

The Prince and Princess of Wales yesterday paid respectful tribute to the 144 victims of one of Britain’s worst disasters.

The pair were in Aberfan, South Wales, where 116 children and 28 adults were killed by a coal-tip landslide which hit a school in 1966.

They visited the memorial garden on the site of Pantglas School, which was destroyed when 150,000 tons of coal waste slid down a hill.

A representative for the Prince of Wales declined to comment on the new TV series.
