| THE QUEEN MOTHER: 100 GLORIOUS YEARS (PAL FORMAT, NOT FOR NORTH AMERICA) |
|
Never in the history of the British monarchy has a member of the royal family been so loved and respected as the Queen Mother. Her gracious charm and abiding commitment to duty has won her a unique place in the hearts of the people – but her real contribution to the nation has been far more important that most realise. Indeed, without her, it is doubtful whether the British monarchy would ever have survived into the 21st century.
Now, on the occasion of her 100th birthday, this video tribute looks back over the life and times of the Queen Mother, and reveals how much she has truly given to the nation. Running time: 57 minutes approx. |

| DIANA AT THE PARK (NTSC FORMAT FOR USA & CANADA) |
|
In April 1993, Princess Diana took her sons on their third visit to Thorpe Park, a family theme park on the western outskirts of London.
It was a rare opportunity to relax, enjoy the rides and mingle with ordinary people having a typical day out. But on this occasion, for the first and only time, a camera crew was given permission to film the event. This is the story of that unique day out.
The two princes, William and Harry, laughed and joked like any other children as they went from ride to ride – the Flying Fish, the Tea Cup ride, Thunder River, Logger’s Leap, the Depth Charge. Their mother joined them on some of the rides but took a bystander’s view as the boys joined their detectives in a boat race.
Set in the context of the royal marriage difficulties and Diana’s tragic early death, this video is a heart-warming record of a mother’s fun-loving relationship with her two sons. Running time: 30 minutes approx.

| WILLIAM: BEHIND THE HEADLINES (PAL FORMAT, NOT FOR NORTH AMERICA) |
|
Each of us remembers, in some way, the singular impact of the tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales. Before long, our shock turned to compassion at the televised images of two grieving young boys, Prince Harry and Prince William, fondly called ‘Wills’ by his doting mother.
Today, as Wills rapidly approaches manhood and, motherless, plunges into the tumultuous environment of scandal-ridden and emotionally scarred British royalty, we have to ask the question: who is the real Prince William and how is he coping?
What legacy did Diana really leave him? Does a part of her beauty, elegance and emotional hold on the world’s heartstrings lives on through William? If so, will the darker side of that legacy cling to him as well – the broken love affairs, the public exposes, the unhappiness, the constant hounding by press and the paparazzi? What are his thoughts about his father, Prince Charles, and his longtime paramour Camilla?

| WILLIAM: KING IN WAITING (NTSC FORMAT FOR USA & CANADA) |
|
Tall, athletic and blessed with good looks, Prince William captures hearts wherever he goes. He excels equally on the sports field and in the classroom and teenage girls treat him with the adulation usually reserved for pop stars.
But who is Prince William really behind the shy Spencer smile and the veil of royal secrecy? As he emerges at eighteen from Eton into a world utterly captivated by him, the questions abound – about his friends, his family, his romances and his future.
WILLIAM – A KING IN WAITING traces the prince’s life to date with the pick of video footage – touching moments as a child at play with his mother, as a young man on the sports field, at school, on holiday and with his father and brother. The unforgettable images capture an extraordinary young man brought up in the royal family but having to cope with like in the real world, the pain of his parents divorce and his mother’s tragic death.
Through exclusive interviews, this video reveals so much about the young prince that has been hidden from the public for so long – William’s everyday life, his views, passions and ambitions – providing a uniquely personal insight into the charismatic young man who will one day be king. Running time: 50 minutes approx.

| PRINCE EDWARD & SOPHIE RHYS-JONES (PAL FORMAT, NOT FOR NORTH AMERICA) |
|
This topical new programme portrays the remarkable story of perhaps the least complicated royal romance of the century.
For five and half years Prince Edward and Sophie Rhys-Jones got to know each other almost in private – to the point of sometimes living together in Buckingham Palace – and then on 7 January 1999 announced their engagement.
This programme goes behind the headlines and asks who Sophie Rhys-Jones is, how she met Prince Edward and what chance the marriage has of succeeding. Both have real jobs in the real world and both Prince Edward and Sophie seem committed to a more natural marriage than previous royal engagements have indicated.
This then is the story of the prince and the commoner, of the girl from an ordinary middle class home who now seems destined to become a major figure on the world celebrity stage. How did she do it? How did Prince Edward manage to carve a more realistic life for himself than his elder brothers Charles and Andrew? Are we seeing a ‘new’ royal family making itself more in tune with a New Labour governed Britain facing the millennium?
This 50-minute programme gets behind the headlines and delivers the real story behind the best news of the British royal family in a decade.
