Finding Harmony documentary

6 February, 2026

If you’re looking for something a bit different to kick off your weekend, ‘Finding Harmony: A King’s vision’ is released today on Amazon Prime Video. It is a documentary that follows King Charles III as he looks back on decades of thinking about nature, farming, food and how we live on this planet, even when those views earned him criticism for “meddling.” 

Shot over the course of a year, the film builds on the ideas in his earlier book ‘Harmony.’ It mixes present-day footage with archive material, including rare clips of Charles as a child with his grandmother, the Queen Mother, and brief shots with Princes William and Harry. We also see him watching some of his earliest speeches, dating back to when he was 21, reflecting on concerns about soil health and how land is managed. 

Much of the documentary unfolds at Highgrove and Dumfries House. At Highgrove, he is shown collecting eggs, talking about organic farming, and growing heritage vegetables, admitting a particular fondness for Red Duke of York potatoes. Elsewhere, he reflects on being considered “bonkers” for going organic and on sticking with those ideas despite public ridicule. 

There is a quieter, more personal note too. At one point, the King talks about wanting to improve the state of the planet and its people “before I shuffle off this mortal coil”, a line that lands differently in light of his recent cancer diagnosis. 

Narrated by Kate Winslet, Finding Harmony was made in collaboration with The King’s Foundation and had its premiere earlier this week at Windsor Castle, attended by a long list of celebrities. It also joins a wider cultural moment where well-known voices and leaders across culture and faith, including Pope Francis, have helped bring climate, nature and responsibility into the mainstream conversation. We understand that not everyone will want to listen to the King, but progress involves a plurality of perspectives, and this is one that is likely to resonate with many. When big voices speak up, people listen. Even if they once called you bonkers.
