The documentary will be available on Amazon Prime Video, aligning with the royal family's broader engagement with streaming platforms, alongside Prince William's recent appearance on Apple TV+ and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix projects.
Filming took place at Highgrove House, the King's residence, and will include interviews, archival footage, and insights into how his environmental beliefs have influenced projects like new towns in England and initiatives through the King's Foundation.
The film aims to showcase King Charles's advocacy for restoring planetary balance, featuring footage and materials from various decades to highlight his lifelong commitment to environmental issues.

Prince William has been actively involved in environmental initiatives, notably through the Earthshot Prize, which funds innovative solutions to planetary problems.
Prince William's recent episode on Apple TV+ was well-received, with viewers praising his openness and emotional honesty, drawing comparisons to Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana.
