In a week the royals would like to forget, with Andrew moving out of Royal Lodge under cover of darkness following fresh Epstein revelations, comes a new documentary about King Charles’s environmental philosophy. Finding Harmony: A King’s Vision drops on Amazon, which also funded 2024’s A Very Royal Scandal, dramatising that car-crash Newsnight interview. It’s Charles’s honest attempt to show that his five decades of indefatigable green crusading weren’t just royal eccentricity but a roadmap for survival.
This is his first major film since becoming King, though royal documentaries have become oddly ubiquitous. Once a rare event – the BBC and ITV’s fly-on-the-palace-wall Royal Family in 1969 was watched by more than half of Britain – they now arrive in a steady stream. Take your pick from Harry and Meghan’s Netflix output, Channel 5’s Saturday night specials, Prince William revealing his plans for the monarchy on Apple TV.
