Jacques Peretti
Prince Harry at a Christmas service

As Harry is engulfed in another scandal, Jacques Peretti has been investigating the truth behind the headlines triggered by the young prince and his brother.

At the funeral of Princess Diana, her brother Earl Spencer gave a speech in which he said Princes William and Harry should continue on the path of their 'blood family' and not be 'immersed by duty and tradition'.

Would the princes grow up as part of the traditional House of Windsor, or would they be more like their mother? At stake was the future of the monarchy. The royal family began by creating a complete press blackout around the young princes. Years later the princes emerged as modern A-list celebrities: handsome, down to earth, war heroes.

Jacques Peretti investigates what happened in between. What's the story that's been happening behind the booze, the girls and the Nazi uniform? Who is in control? Who won the battle to shape the princes?
