It is a difficult time for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. As they do their best to guide the country, supporting the public through the coronavirus pandemic through online videos and social media posts, as well as constant meetings with their charities and foundations, they must also juggle a busy family life with their three young children. During such a high pressure period, they may not welcome the news that a new documentary named William & Kate: Too Good to be True? is to air in a matter of weeks.

Channel 5 has announced that they will broadcast the documentary on June 13th, which promises to analyse their courtship that began at St Andrew's University. The official blurb released by the channel promises revelations and analysis.

'He was born heir to the throne, she was a commoner - but Prince William and Kate Middleton will one day be King and Queen Consort', the description reads. 'This film tells the story of their relationship, of Kate's entrance into royal life, and the highs and lows of the couple's popularity with the British public. How have they coped with conflicts and challenges in their lives - both together and separately? From the struggles faced by William after the death of his mother, Diana, to coping with the departure of Harry and Meghan from Royal duties.'

'We hear insights into William's grooming as a future King, as far back as when he was a young child, find out what royal insiders thought of Kate's suitability as his wife and future consort, and chart their on-going apprenticeship as a couple in direct line to the throne. At a time when the couple's popularity is resurgent as they co-ordinate the royal response to coronavirus and Prince Harry starts a new life thousands of miles away, this film will ask what their reign holds, and how they will shape the future of the British Royal family.'

The documentary's timing follows a recent piece in Tatler, which claimed that Kate has struggled with the pressures put upon her by the establishment, and suggested that she had been left angry with her sister-in-law for departing the country and leaving her to pick up the slack. Kensington Palace has denied all claims made by the magazine, and reports state that legal letters have been exchanged.

Hopefully all will be resolved, paving the way for a documentary sequel: William & Kate: Actually Everything's Fine, Thank You!

William & Kate: Too Good to be True? It is currently in the schedule for 9:15pm on Saturday 13th June
