Prince Harry: Joker In the Pack

Documentary

Prince Harry isn’t your average Royal Prince. Life in the British royal family is unlike any other - it is one of duty, of service, of privilege, but at a great price - freedom. Since leaving not only his role as senior royal but the UK as well, Prince Harry’s life in America with his wife and children has been far from average. From the infamous interview that was broadcast to millions, which has many similarities to the interview his late mother Princess Diana appeared in, to the comments he made regarding the Queens safety in the top secret 2022 visit. The Prince has nevertheless dedicated much of his life to the benefit of many causes close to his heart, such as veterans, poverty, and mental health. For a long time, his frankness and openness won him millions of admirers and he was consistently rated the most popular member of the royal family. He has often been at odds with those determined to preserve the status quo because of his passion for change. His desire for privacy has caused him to leave royal life behind and pursue an independent future for himself and his growing family in recent years. Although leaving royalty was a surprise for not only the royal family but the entire country, it came as no shock as Prince Harry was always seen as... The Joker In The Pack.

1936: The Abdication

Documentary

Born in 1894 as the oldest son of George, Duke of York, Edward became heir to the throne when his father was crowned King George V in May 1910 and was formally invested as Prince of Wales the following summer. As feared by royal aides, Edward showed little interest in any sort of day-to-day governorship. He was mainly preoccupied with marrying Wallis Simpson, and from her husband, at least, there was no pushback, as the businessman agreed to let the King have his way. After ruling for less than one year, Edward VIII became the first British monarch to voluntarily abdicate the throne. He made this choice after the British government and the Church of England condemned his decision to marry the American divorcee Wallis Simpson. On the evening of December 11th, 1936, Edward gave a radio address to the public, in which he explained his reasoning for leaving behind the throne. The broadcast was expected but still shocking.
