VHS Movie Reviews of Prince William: Behind the Headlines [VHS]

Movie Review: It's pretty good
Summary: 4 Stars

It's not my favorite video on the prince, but it's pretty good. I enjoyed it and it had a lot of rare coverage i hadn't really seen before. It kept me hooked and it was interesting.

Movie Review: About Drugs
Summary: 2 Stars

It was a very interseting video, but basically nothing was about William, it was all on other people like his friends or other royals that do drugs. It's good for like an anti-drug lesson.

Movie Review: Save your money, buy a picture book
Summary: 3 Stars

I was very disappointed in this video, out of 50 minutes of tape I doubt that even 10 were of the subject. Like most of those tapes about his mother Prince William: Behind the Headlines consists mostly of a bunch of people talking about him with a few small scraps of video thrown in( I will admit I hadn't seen most of that before). These experts annoy me with their opinions about what's best for him as if they really know what is going on in William's private life. If you're interested in the boy go to Amazon's book section and type Prince William in the search box, you'll find better material. The Boy who would be King by Nigel Blundell is one example of what they've got there.

Movie Review: A Very Good Video, Indeed!
Summary: 4 Stars

This new video features in depth interviews with royal veterans like Judy Wade and tells and shows the story of HRH Prince William of Wales from birth to now. It features lots of video footage of Prince William from 1999...Including the prince first learning to drive, at the christening of his Godson Prince Constantinos-Alexios of Greece, boarding a plane with pretty girls for a fun Greek cruise,arriving at a navy air show, and at a Royal Ascot tea in his Eton College uniform with his school mates. Plus video footage from his childhood and more.

There is also detailed discussion about his future and his friends. And his relationships with his brother, father and late mother. It's a must have for Prince William/Royal fans!


Movie Review: A cut above the usual royalty videos
Summary: 4 Stars

I was expecting a rather cheesy, tabloid style video based on this video's title. Instead, it was a surprisingly informative, yet compassionate view of the young heir to the British throne. This video covers all the bases--from his birth to growing up in front of the cameras to his mother's tragic death and beyond. The viewer will learn what William's relationships are like with his father, late mother, brother Harry and Camilla Parker-Bowles. I highly recommend this video as an excellent addition to any royal collector.

Summary of Prince William: Behind the Headlines [VHS]

Today, as Prince William - "Wils", as his mother Princess Diana fondly called him - rapidly approaches manhood, he is plunging into the tumultuous environment of scandal-ridden and emotionally scarred British royalty and the unstable world of the young European elite. We have to ask the question: who is the real Prince William and how is he coping? Will the birthright left him by Diana- the elegance and emotional hold on the world's heartstrings- also include the darker side of that legacy- the broken love affairs, the public exposTs, the constant hounding by the press and paparazzi. Prince William: Behind the Headlines is an insightful and frank documentary that offers a uniquely fresh profile of the future King of England.
If you thought you had a hard adolescence, imagine growing up in front of TV cameras--where your every move is fair game for the tabloids--as young Prince William did. Losing his mother in his mid-teens, without even the solace of a private mourning, compounded the difficulties of his life. Prince William: Behind the Headlines takes a compassionate look at the heir to the throne of England as he approaches the age of adulthood. Seemingly carrying Diana's grace and charm with him wherever he goes, there is hope that he will reject the legacy of scandal and emotional baggage and return the monarchy to its prior dignity. But, as the interviews and video clips herein amply demonstrate, this may be asking too much of anyone, especially in an age of hired-gun paparazzi and sensation-seeking media owners. Still, if you want to root for the good guy, keep an eye on Prince William: Behind the Headlines. --Rob Lightner
