The Heir & The Spare

Two brothers. One crown. A family divided.

An intimate account of Princes William and Harry’s evolving relationship, told through those who know the royal brothers best.

The Heir & The Spare traces the shifting relationship between two brothers born into duty, privilege and scrutiny. From the gilded corridors of Kensington Palace to the open plains of California, this series examines how the bond between Princes William and Harry evolved - and unravelled - in the glare of a global audience.

Through rare insight from those who have served within the royal household, alongside friends, aides and observers who have seen the brothers at their best and their most vulnerable, the series explores the pressures of succession, media intrusion, and personal conviction. Beyond headlines and tabloid narratives, it asks what happens when two men raised for the same purpose choose very different paths - one towards monarchy, the other towards self-determination.

Measured, revealing and deeply human, The Heir & The Spare considers the cost of royalty in the modern world, and whether reconciliation is ever truly possible once the crown divides a family.
