Since the marriage between Kate Middleton and Prince William, Prince Harry has been thrust into the spotlight as the most eligible bachelor in Britain. Third in line to the throne, the remaining handsome Prince has become an object of desire for girls across the globe. A brand new documentary, Marrying Prince Harry, follows five girls who are determined in their quest to snag their very own Prince Charming.

The film follows 21-year old American friends Cassie and Whitney who grew up in rural Iowa, watching Disney movies and dreaming they would one day marry Prince Harry. They know that to achieve your dreams you have to be prepared to go the distance. Cassie and Whitney have done their research and have a plan - to hit his favourite haunts - from Polo clubs to exclusive Mayfair nightspots.

However, they have strong competition from the ‘queens' of the social network in East London. School friends Joy and Jade know Prince Harry's whereabouts at any time, day or night. Twitter is their medium of choice - whether Harry's partying in Croatia or flying Apache helicopters, they will know within seconds. 16-year old Joy even has an engagement ring for the Prince when the right moment comes to propose. 

And finally 14-year-old Flora who hangs out in Chelsea, London and avidly reads the newspapers to know what Prince Harry is up to each week. However, she is determined to impress her teenage heart-throb by working hard at school in her hopes to become an intelligent Princess.

First Cut is a collection of original and bold documentary films by up and coming first time directors and part of Channel 4's continuous commitment to nurturing new and diverse talent.
