According to a Paramount+ press release, the 90-minute documentary features exclusive interviews, never-before-seen photos, and letters with former girlfriends, schoolmates, royal watchers and staff, with many speaking for the first time, disclosing new details about the life of King Charles.
The unique production is “partly a coming-of-age tale, bringing to life an intimate portrait of England’s future king,” according to the release.
New insights include a memory from King Charles’ former boarding schoolmate Johnny Stonborough, who recalls how “Charles was the boy who walked alone,” in response to ongoing bullying and isolation. The all-new documentary also shares previously unreported details about King Charles’ relationship with the late Princess Diana and how they have impacted his relationship with his youngest son, Prince Harry.
The coronation of King Charles III will takes place at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, May 6.
