CNN Presents: The Women Who Would Be Queen
CNN takes a look at the life of Catherine Middleton, the woman who will someday become Queen of the United Kingdom.

Harry: The Fighter Prince
He is the soldier Prince, happiest in combat uniform. In this documentary, Prince Harry reveals to CNN’s Royal Correspondent, Max Foster, “There's something about me, I do enjoy running down a ditch full of mud. It's the way I am. I love it.” With a glint in his eye and a healthy streak of irreverence, the young prince is third in line to the British throne, and has always been one of the lads. As his grandmother celebrates sixty years on the throne, Prince Harry has been given duties away from the battlefield. He was sent on a Royal tour of the Caribbean — a trip which senior members at Buckingham Palace judged as a great success.
