How well will Charles's revolutionary vision translate to television?

The Guardian Weekly

February 14, 2025

So King Charles is working on a feature-length documentary for Amazon Prime Video, which will apparently detail his philosophy on how to "transform people, places and ultimately the planet”.

- Stephen Bates

How well will Charles's revolutionary vision translate to television?

Times have changed. Before, you waited years for a royal TV project now they all come along at once. The royal documentary of old was a rare event, eagerly looked forward to, cherished and lovingly analysed - by royalists at least - for years to come: think of the BBC and ITV's Royal Family in 1969. Now they're ubiquitous, what with Harry and Meghan's Netflix programmes including How to lay a Dining Table in someone else's House in California by Meghan.

There now seem to be almost as many Windsors as Kardashians on screen, with shows ranging from the gripping tale of Kate "as you've never seen her before" to William and Harry: "Can their bond ever be mended?" If you count Prince Andrew: "Where did it all go wrong?", you have the whole gamut of viewing pleasure. I shouldn't complain: I've been asked occasionally to appear on these types of programmes. There's quite a cottage industry of royal watching out there.
