POWER COUPLES

Although Charles and Camilla are still ahead of them, it is already up to William and Kate to make the crown fit for the future. With brilliance and credibility, the two know how to give the royal family a facelift. They are fighting for a better world, breaking down barriers and presenting themselves as a young family that the British can identify with.
Felipe VI declared at his proclamation as King of Spain in 2014 that the Crown must seek proximity to its citizens and know how to gain their appreciation, respect and trust. Since then, Felipe and Letizia have been working hard to establish a contemporary form of monarchy. Because: monarchy is teamwork!
The royals don't have power, but they do have influence. Letizia plays just as big a role alongside Felipe as Kate does alongside Prince William or Daniel alongside Crown Princess Victoria. The young royals see themselves as equal partners with a common mission: to serve their country. In doing so, they face major challenges: social discontent, political unrest, separatist movements. The meaning and purpose of kingship are questioned time and again. But as long as the monarchies find a meaningful role for themselves and the benefits outweigh the costs, they will continue to exist.
Three power couples from England, Spain and Sweden, whose aim is to make royalty, the oldest institution in history, fit for the future - the documentary accompanies the royals on numerous occasions and paints a picture of this new generation of kings.
