After Prince William, King Charles Gets Candid About the Change He's Fought for 'Most of His Life’
After Prince William bared his heart out in the recent documentary, The Reluctant Traveller, King Charles has followed suit. Much like William, he too spoke of the 'change' he wishes to bring. Charles used the opportunity to champion something very close to his heart, one that has defined much of his public life: his fight to heal the planet. He takes the viewers on a quest to restore harmony between people and nature. Titled Finding Harmony: A King’s Vision, which will air on Amazon Prime in 2026, the film highlights his enduring role as an environmental pioneer long before ‘sustainability’ became a buzzword.
In the documentary, Charles reflects on archival footage of his early advocacy and renews his call for balance with the natural world. “Nature is our sustainer — we are a part of Nature. Therefore, what we do to her, we do to ourselves,” he says, a sentiment he has shared since his days as the Prince of Wales. He adds, “For much of my life I have sought to promote and encourage ways we can work with, rather than against Nature… to restore balance to our planet which is under such stress.”
Directed by Nicolas Brown, the film aims to capture the science and urgency behind the King’s message. Brown describes it as a ‘story of hope and resilience,’ adding that the King’s philosophy shows us the power of intuition and how it can transform the world. This philosophy, or harmony, forms the backbone of the charitable endeavors of the King’s Foundation. Based at Dumfries House in Scotland, the organization promotes sustainability, heritage crafts, and education, all rooted in the belief that humanity must live with nature, not apart from it.
The Foundation, which also oversees the King’s famed Highgrove gardens, marks its 35th anniversary this year, a milestone the film fittingly celebrates. Charles hopes Finding Harmony will reach new audiences and inspire the same sense of purpose that has driven him for decades. “Never has it been more important for the world to make a concerted effort to protect and prioritize our planet,” the monarch stresses. “It is my fondest hope that this film may encourage a new audience to learn about the philosophy of harmony — and perhaps inspire the same sense of determination it has given me.”
The documentary showcases initiatives from across the globe that embody this idea. It includes sustainable communities in India, reforestation efforts in Guyana, along with work happening closer to home through the Foundation’s projects in the UK. Kristina Murrin, chief executive of The King’s Foundation, described the documentary as 'moving and inspiring,' noting that it encapsulates the breadth of the King’s passions. “Our work spans many of His Majesty’s interests — protecting traditional skills, teaching young people about the outdoors, and building green towns and cities with sustainability at their core,” she said.
Brown, who has chronicled environmental issues for decades, said making the film revealed just how deep the King’s influence runs. “Remarkably few people know the full depth of His Majesty’s lifelong battle to bring nature and humanity into harmony,” he shared.
