King Charles teams up with Hollywood icon for exciting new project

Award-winning actress Kate Winslet is set for a big royal role as she has teamed up with King Charles to narrate a new documentary. Finding Harmony: A King's Vision will be released by Amazon Prime in early 2026 and will focus on what the monarch, 76, has achieved with The King's Foundation over the last 35 years.

With the King's lifelong commitment to the philosophy of harmony at its heart, the programme will encourage viewers to protect the planet and create a more sustainable future for the next generation. Lending her voice to the project, Ms Winslet, 50, said: "It is both a pleasure and a privilege to be a part of this film, which is a fascinating insight into The King's work as an environmentalist."

The Oscar-winning actress was announced as an ambassador for The King's Foundation in June and spoke about her deep interest in His Majesty's work.

She said, "I share His Majesty's passion for protecting our planet and building sustainable communities, so it's been really rewarding to work with The King's Foundation on this exciting project. I know audiences will learn, laugh and feel inspired by what's featured in the film, and I hope the impact of Harmony will be felt in years to come."

The King's Foundation, formed in 1990, is a charity launched by King Charles when he was Prince of Wales, with an aim to bring about the change the monarch wants to see in the world in a range of sectors, such as environmental activism, fashion and architecture.

The film will highlight the work of The King's Foundation across the UK and overseas, with a particular spotlight on the charity's headquarters, Dumfries House, in Ayrshire.

Before she officially became an ambassador for the Foundation, Ms Winslet, who was made a CBE by Queen Elizabeth II in 2012, attended a reception at St. James's Palace alongside other stars, including acting legend Meryl Streep, Sir David Beckham, actor Stanley Tucci, and music icon Sir Rod Stewart.

Speaking about the making of the new documentary, director Nicolas Brown was full of praise for the actress. He said, "Working with Kate Winslet on this film has been transformational.

"She has the perfect blend of intellect and star power to tell this story like no one else could. His Majesty King Charles III has lived such an incredible life, striving to bring humankind into harmony with the natural world for over half a century. It's an epic tale, full of drama, and Kate has turned it into a story that any one of us will relate to. We are so fortunate to have an artist of her calibre on the team."

Meanwhile, Kristina Murrin, Chief Executive of The King's Foundation, added, "This documentary is incredibly important to The King's Foundation, and we are delighted to have the support of our ambassador Kate Winslet in helping to bring the film to life.

"Through the film, we hope that viewers will gain a better understanding of His Majesty's Philosophy of Harmony, which is so central to our work at The King's Foundation. We are thrilled that Kate is a part of this journey with us and look forward to sharing the film with the world next year."
