Britain's Prince Charles - a TV presenter
May 26, 2006, 15:45 GMT
Britain's Prince Charles is turning his hand to television presenting.
The royal is going to front a three-part series for the UK's Channel Five network to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Victoria Cross - Britain's highest award for bravery.
Channel Five's commissioning editor Ian Russell told BBC news: 'We are delighted that his Royal Highness has agreed to present the series.' Since the award was first introduced by Britain's Queen Victoria in 1856, over 1000 British soldiers have been awarded the medal. For the special commemorative show the Prince of Wales will interview 12 of the surviving recipients. Russell added: 'True courage is something that many aspire to, but few achieve. This is the story of ordinary people who performed extraordinary acts of bravery.' The series will air in November (06).Copyright 2006 BANG Media International
