Prince William: A Planet For Us All

ITV, 9pm

We are used to Prince Charles speaking of his concern for the environment, but in recent years Prince William (right) has also taken up the campaigning baton – yet in the more informal style of the younger royals, allowing him to connect with people on this most important of causes.

William’s devotion to the natural world is captured in this feature-length documentary following the Duke of Cambridge over two years as he travels with Kate across the planet to highlight the plight of endangered species and issues such as global warming.

Ranging across Africa, Asia and Europe, the result is a spectacular and informative affair. Look out for the couple’s encounter with an industrious group of school children in Liverpool who have built an insect hotel. The miniature property’s name? Bugingham Palace.
