The film aims to show King Charles' views on nature, which were once mocked by the public, became mainstream.

The British King Charles said that he had been considered "rather dotty", for his concern over environmental damage in the past. A documentary film will chart the spread and acceptance of views that were once considered eccentric.

In the early 1970s the 76-year old monarch spoke out about the dangers posed by "indestructible containers" and pollution caused by "endless automobiles and planes", long before the topic of protecting the environment became mainstream.

The film's director Nicolas Brown stated that "remarkably few people in the world are aware of the depth of The Kings lifelong struggle to bring nature and mankind into harmony."

The film "Finding Harmony - A King's Vision", will examine Charles' history and his belief that nature was at the heart of human well-being, as well as the urgency of protecting it. The film will be released in early 2019 as a counterweight against the scepticism expressed by U.S. president Donald Trump about environmental issues.

The film will showcase Charles' projects in India, Guyana and his Highgrove home and Dumfries House. These are part of The King's Foundation.

"Nature sustains us - we're a part Nature." Charles stated in a statement released by the charity that "what we do to Nature, we also do to ourselves".

Both of his sons have been inspired by his environmental activism. Prince William, the heir to the throne, set up the Earthshot Charity, which offers prizes of millions of pounds to fund environmental technologies. Prince Harry, his younger brother, champions conservation, wildlife and animal causes.

Amazon Prime Video will host the film, which marks the latest step by the royals to embrace global platforms. William had appeared earlier in October on an Apple TV program, and Harry, who has no longer been a royal working, is under contract with Netflix.
