Prince William to give rare glimpse into his family life in fly-on-the-wall documentary

The Prince of Wales is set to appear in a fly-on-the-wall documentary, it has been reported.

Cameras from ITV will follow Prince William as he tours Britain as part of his initiative to tackle homelessness.

In what would mark his first appearance in a reality programme, the focus will be on his work as a senior royal, and it is anticipated that there will be further instalments as he carries out his new project.

The focus will be on his work as a senior royal, and it is anticipated that there will be further instalments as he carries out his new project.

Earlier this year the Prince said that he wanted to play “significant role” in ending homelessness in the UK, expressing his determination to make rough sleeping “rare, brief, and non-recurrent”.

It was a cause championed by his late mother Diana, Princess of Wales, who took him to a homeless shelter for the first time when he was 11 years old.

A television source told The Sun: “This is pretty extraordinary - it’s never been done before.

“Generally access to senior royals is very limited and totally controlled, but William clearly wants to change that.

“He’s keen to highlight his work, particularly on a homeless project which was a subject very close to his mother’s heart, and to connect with the public on a new level.”

It comes after his brother's foray into the entertainment world.

The Duke of Sussex, along with his wife, Meghan, launched Archewell Productions to produce programming that “informs, elevates and inspires”.

The company has a creative partnership with Netflix, which aired an explosive documentary in December covering “their courtship to their exit from royal life”.

The Duchess of Sussex has also signed with talent agency WME, regarded as a powerhouse that represents some of Hollywood's biggest celebrities including Rihanna, Matt Damon and Hugh Jackman.

The Palace declined to comment.
