At the funeral of Princess Diana, Earl Spencer gave a speech in which he said Princes William and Harry should continue on the path of their ‘blood family’ and not be ‘immersed by duty and tradition’.

Jacques Peretti investigates what happened in between. Who is in control? Who won the battle to shape the Princes?
