King Charles’ emotional confession

King Charles’ new documentary, which airs on Amazon Prime video on Friday, February 6, takes a deep dive into his environmental work over the years.

The 90-minute film looks at all the work Charles has done over the past 50 years to raise awareness about the environmental issues impacting our world.

The documentary also sees the king make an emotional confession about the job he needs to do before he passes on.

Maybe, by the time I shuffle off this mortal coil, there might be a little more awareness.

“It all boils down to the fact that we are actually nature ourselves, we are a part of it, not apart from it, which is really how things are being presented for so long,” he says, as reported by The Times.

“Maybe, by the time I shuffle off this mortal coil, there might be a little more awareness… of the need to bring things back together again.”

So, what can we expect from the new documentary?

Of the movie, Amazon said: “Using a mix of stunning cinematography, unique interviews, and fascinating storytelling, the film will document how this vision has sparked a global movement, with examples including food production, urbanism, community regeneration, sustainable textiles, and traditional skills—inspiring similar projects worldwide.

“It also features The King’s own reflections on his lifelong commitment to promoting a sustainable world, as he views special archive footage from across the decades.”

Kristina Murrin, chief executive at The King’s Foundation, has also said that the documentary will show a different side to the king.

“You do get to see him as quite an informal person, telling you about what he believes in, which is not how we tend to normally see him,” she said.
