When Ant and Dec Met the Prince: 40 Years of the Prince's Trust (2016x1)


:

Ant and Dec get an insight into the work of The Prince's Trust in this one-off special. In this unique documentary, When Ant and Dec Met The Prince: 40 Years of The Prince’s Trust, the presenters have close access to HRH The Prince of Wales, where viewers will see an unguarded Prince of Wales talking about the upcoming 40th anniversary of The Prince’s Trust, his life as a grandfather and amusing anecdotes from his days in the Royal Navy. This 90-minute special sees Ant and Dec, in their own inimitable style, granted a real insight into the work of The Prince’s Trust as they accompany His Royal Highness on a number of engagements – chatting to him along the way, meeting people who have benefited directly from the charity and witnessing, first-hand, the passion that The Prince has for The Trust he founded in 1976. With extensive access to Clarence House, St James’s Palace and Kensington Palace, the duo talk openly to those closest to His Royal Highness – The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry – who tell Ant and Dec what drives The Prince in his work for charity and also share some revealing and funny stories from their lives with The Prince of Wales. On setting up The Prince's Trust, which has now helped more than 800,000 disadvantaged and vulnerable young people to move into work or education, HRH The Prince of Wales says: 'Just getting The Trust off the ground was quite difficult, we had to overcome all these people who didn't see the point.' Talking about the evolution of The Prince's Trust, His Royal Highness says: 'You have to keep ahead of the game all the time, you can’t just sit back and say, ‘Done a marvellous job,’ because that’s how all sorts of organisations fold, because you become absolutely static, when in fact you need to be constantly thinking and aware of issues that are arising to try and make sure you are relevant.’ Ant and Dec, long-term ambassadors for The Prince’s Trust a
