King Charles <\/a>is set to star in a new documentary<\/a> about his lifelong battle to \u201cbring nature and humanity into harmony\u201d.<\/p>\n

The film, to be released on Prime Video, will see Charles<\/a> warn it has never been more important to \u201cprotect and prioritise\u201d the planet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With a working title Finding Harmony: A King\u2019s Vision,<\/a> the documentary will launch in over 240 countries and territories worldwide in early 2026.<\/p>\n

It features the King\u2019s<\/a> own reflections on his lifelong commitment to promoting a sustainable world, as he views special archive footage from across the decades.<\/p>\n

Upon the announcement of the film, the King said he hopes the film will inspire others to protect the planet as he said he had spent most of life encouraging people to \u201cwork with, rather than against, nature\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cNature is our sustainer \u2013 we are a part of Nature. Therefore, what we do to her, we do to ourselves,\u201d Charles said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor much of my life I have sought to promote and encourage ways we can work with, rather than against Nature. In other words, to restore balance to our planet which is under such stress.\u201d<\/p>\n

The documentary will explore the origins, evolution and scientific foundations of the King\u2019s \u201cHarmony\u201d philosophy, which he set out in his 2010 book Harmony: A New Way of Looking At Our World.<\/p>\n

It will show how The King\u2019s Foundation, which has its headquarters in Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Scotland, has embraced this approach through projects focusing on community regeneration, sustainable textiles and traditional skills.<\/p>\n

Charles said: \u201cThis film will, I hope, demonstrate just some of the remarkable work being done around the world to put Harmony into practice, from the forests of Guyana to sustainable communities in India \u2013 and, closer to home, through the work of my King\u2019s Foundation at Dumfries House and Highgrove.<\/p>\n

\u201cNever has it been more important for the world to make a concerted effort to protect and prioritise our planet, and to restore our relationship with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The King added: \u201cIt is therefore my fondest hope that this film may encourage a new audience to learn about the philosophy of Harmony \u2013 and perhaps inspire the same sense of determination it has given me to help build a more sustainable future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The documentary\u2019s director Nicolas Brown said the story was one of \u201chope and resilience\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemarkably few people around the world know the full depth of the King\u2019s lifelong battle to bring nature and humanity into harmony,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven today, His Majesty\u2019s work with The King\u2019s Foundation is transforming the world in so many inspiring ways.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a story of hope and resilience. People who watch this film will leave feeling uplifted and motivated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe King\u2019s philosophy offers something for everyone. Mostly, he shows us the power of resilience \u2013 and how following your intuition can transform the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Courtenay Valenti, head of film for Amazon MGM Studios, said: \u201cWe believe this collaboration, championed by Amazon MGM<\/p>\n

Studios head of documentary features Brianna Oh, will not only showcase the King\u2019s remarkable vision but also inspire viewers across the globe to consider their own relationship with the natural world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kristina Murrin, chief executive of The King\u2019s Foundation, said it was both \u201cmoving and inspiring\u201d to see the King\u2019s Harmony journey committed to film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":187109,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-187108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187108"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187108\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/187109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
