Charles and Diana - A Working Year

on BBC Two England

In 1985 The Prince and Princess of Wales undertook more public engagements and foreign tours than ever before - all in the customary blaze of world wide publicity. But as well as a busy working year, it's also been one of subtle change in the role the royal couple have been playing in public. Media stars they may be, with all the ballyhoo and razzmatazz which that entails, but this year there has been an added dimension.
Prince Charles and his wife have become experts in public relations for 'Great Britain Ltd' - ambassadors abroad for our industries, fashions and tourism.
Sue Lawley looks back at the royal working year, and what the Prince and Princess are trying to achieve on the 'royal road show'.
