As further details were released about the streaming giant's upcoming film, Charles warned it has never been more important for the world to focus its efforts on protecting the planet.

The documentary, which has the working title Finding Harmony: A King's Vision, will feature Charles' own reflections on his lifelong commitment to promoting a sustainable world and is being billed as an uplifting tale of the power of "hope and resilience".

Produced by Passion Planet in collaboration with the monarch's charity The King's Foundation for Amazon MGM Studios, it will launch exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide early next year.

A new photograph of the King was released to mark the official announcement.

It shows Charles, in a light suit and colourful pink patterned tie, resting his hands on his shepherd's crook walking stick, while surrounded by summer greenery in the arboretum at Highgrove Gardens, Gloucestershire, during filming.

The King said, in words released to mark the occasion, that he had spent most of his life encouraging people to work with, rather than against, nature.
