Just as royal watchers debated where Prince Harry's relationship stands with King Charles, a subtle nod has suggested that all is well between father and son. On January 29, a new documentary, Finding Harmony: A King's Vision, premiered at a special screening at Windsor Castle. While the film primarily highlighted the King's passion for conservation, a sweet moment showed Harry fly fishing with his father as a young boy, dubbed a heartwarming sign of a thaw in their relationship.

In the private screening, PEOPLE reported that while the brief clip featured Harry, Prince William made far more appearances. One video showed a young William on the grass with Charles, while another showed him tending to cows at the royal family's Home Farm. During his younger days, Charles was particularly fond of fishing and exploring the River Dee, which runs past Balmoral Castle in Scotland, the royal family's traditional summer retreat. He was often seen fishing with his sons on the Balmoral estate, frequently accompanied by their cherished family dogs.

William and Harry weren't the only family members featured; the documentary also saw cameos from Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis from the King's coronation. The late Queen Elizabeth also appears in archival footage guiding a young Charles. Back in 2010, the then-Prince had authored a book titled Harmony: A New Way of Looking at Our World, which "looks at different aspects of our modern world to demonstrate how many of the challenges seen in areas as diverse as architecture, farming and medicine can be traced to how we have abandoned a classical sense of balance and proportion." Amazon has now adapted the book into a feature-length documentary, which will be released on February 6. 



To promote the same, Charles pulled out all the stops for a star-studded affair. At the premiere, the slew of A-list guests included narrator Kate Winslet, Benedict Cumberbatch and Dame Judi Dench, musicians Sir Rod Stewart and Jools Holland, and Stanley Tucci. Before the screening, Buckingham Palace said in a statement, "Finding Harmony will chart how The King's Foundation, which is headquartered at its flagship regeneration project, Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Scotland, has sparked a global Harmony movement." Snippets include Charles promoting environmental conservation and watching archive footage of his previous speeches on the subject.

As for his relationship with Harry, their long-standing estrangement is said to have softened when the father and son met for private tea during the Duke's September UK trip. Speaking to The Mirror, a source revealed that after a difficult few years, Charles is allegedly ready to let bygones be bygones, adding, "Now, with Prince Harry coming over for the Invictus Games and with the King supporting him, they are beginning to move forward." Meanwhile, the Duke has also signalled his interest in bringing his children to meet their grandfather in the UK someday.
