Page 3 of 4 In April 2000, the then Royal Correspondent of ITN and his cameraman were following the Wales family on their annual skiing holiday in Klosters when it was the scenes which took place after the cameras stopped rolling that were of most interest. 
Explained Owen of his unique encounter: "It
was slightly intimidating. No journalist
likes his subject to see what he's up to. But they were interested, good-natured
and extremely polite." The princes stayed by Owen's side on the ski slopes long enough to watch the ITN crew editing the raw footage of Charles, William and Harry at the official photocall which had ended just minutes earlier. The broadcaster revealed the reaction of the brothers as they saw themselves appear on the monitor, saying: "There was a good deal of nudging and joshing, plenty of laughing at one another as their shots came up on the screen. But they were also fascinated with the process of sending the thing." "It made a real change from William's old shyness and antagonism. I think he's learnt to handle the media - he actually called me Mr Owen."
