Tracing the journey from Scotland to his country home, Highgrove House in Gloucestershire, England, and Guyana and India, the film sees him watching archive clips of other documentaries he\u2019s taken part in and moments from speeches he made \u2014 including one dating from 1970 when he first warned of the perils of unchecked pollution and other environmental challenges.\n<\/p>\n Kate Winslet at Windsor Castle on Jan. 28, 2026.<\/p>\n Jonathan Brady \/ POOL \/ AFP via Getty\u00a0<\/p>\n As it does, there are poignant, fleeting video images of Prince Harry<\/a> being shown how to fish by his father in Scotland \u2014 following other footage showing Charles being taught to cast his line by his father, Prince Philip<\/a>.

Much of that is centered at Dumfries House, in Ayrshire, Scotland. But filming \u2014 which begun a year ago \u2014 took place over four continents, highlighting Harmony projects across the globe.
