The emotional depth of this handover was revealed in the ITV documentary 'Prince Charles: Inside the Duchy of Cornwall'. In it, Charles revealed how a comment his son made about the property brought him to tears. In one clip, viewers saw William talking to a second-generation farmer about his private property. William, who was thinking about the future at this time, said:. I started thinking about how I will one day inherit the duchy and what I will do with it.
