Death of a Prince: The Tragedy of William of Gloucester Synopsis
A royal high-flier, diplomat, and daredevil pilot, Prince William of Gloucester was once seen as one of the monarchy's brightest hopes.

Featuring rarely seen archive and first-hand accounts, this compelling documentary revisits the story of a royal who lived fast and died young - and explores whether his untimely death quietly reshaped the future of the modern monarchy.
