Prince William 'agrees to fly-on-the-wall documentary'

Prince William reportedly agrees to a new ITV series which will follow him on his charitable endeavours.

Prince William has reportedly agreed to a new fly-on-the-wall series which will follow him on his charitable endeavours.

The first in line to the throne is involved with numerous charities and is in the process of setting up a major new initiative tackling homelessness.

According to The Sun, William has invited ITV cameras to document his work on the project this summer in what will amount to unprecedented access to the Prince and his young family.

"This is pretty extraordinary - it's never been done before," a source told the newspaper. "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.

"He knows all too well how important it is that the monarchy develops a more modern relationship with the British people.

"TV is a great way to do that, but this is a dramatic contrast to what Harry has been doing.

"William has invited cameras to follow him as he fulfils his duties, giving a proper insight into himself and his work as Prince of Wales - this isn't anything like his brother's TV appearances."

News of the new series comes just days before the coronation of William's father, King Charles.
