When is this being aired?
 
When is this being aired?

I think it's already been aired. It's at least 3 years old (videos from when Bush was President and Tony Blair Prime Minister). Also, maybe 20/20 made more than one documentary. It's a bit confusing finding clips here and there..
 
It's a few years old. I remember watching in awhile back. It's typical surface coverage, mostly of British monarchy. If you follow monarchy you probably know more than anything they revealed. What was nice was that they did followed the BRF's work day with the Queen, PRince Charles and a few others.
 
The transcript of the programs (called "'2020' Profiles Young Royals") can be found on the US ABC News website here.
Prince William's age is stated as 21 so the program is from 2003/4.

I remember watching this! It was pretty, a lot more in depth than the usual stories about royals that are shown in America. It actually aired on May 14, 2004 (20/20 has aired on Fridays at 10/9 central pm on ABC since 1987) the day of Frederick and Mary's wedding. You can see at the of the F&M segment footage from their wedding earlier that day (time difference and all) and the reporter saying "And today..." In this or another segment, the reporter mentions that the Crown Prince of Spain will marry a divorcee "next week" (May 22 and they show Felipe and Letizia at F&M's wedding).
