RadarOnline.com can reveal King Charles slipped a quiet, emotional message to Prince Harry into his new nature documentary, using fleeting family footage to signal reconciliation amid a long-running rift with his younger son.
The monarch, 77, appears in Finding Harmony: A King's Vision, a feature-length documentary adapted from his 2010 book Harmony: A New Way of Looking at Our World, which premieres on February 6. The film includes a brief archival scene of Charles fishing with Harry, now 41, when he was a child – a moment that has been interpreted by royal sources as a "deliberate and deeply personal" nod from father to son.
'I Think We Need to Follow Harmony'

King Charles is believed to have slipped a message about his youngest son into his newest project.
The appearance of the royal exile in his father's film comes despite the pair's strained relationship following Harry's infamous departure from royal duties with his wife, Meghan Markle, 44, in 2020. The documentary also features Prince William, 43, in two separate moments from different stages of his life – once lying in the grass with his father as a child, and later visiting cattle at Home Farm in his 20s.
Two of Charles's grandchildren, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, appear in coronation footage, while the late Queen Elizabeth II is seen alongside a younger Charles.
The project was adapted by Amazon and is narrated by Kate Winslet, 50, with a private screening recently held at Windsor Castle.
In its trailer, Charles says, "I think we need to follow harmony if we are going to ensure that this planet can support so many. It's unlikely there's anywhere else."
The line underscores the environmental philosophy that has defined much of his public life and frames the film's broader message about balance, sustainability, and responsibility.
An 'Intentional' Message to Prince Harry

The documentary focuses on climate change and nature, which the king is passionate about.
When the project was announced in October, Charles declared: "Nature is our sustainer – we are a part of Nature. Therefore, what we do to her, we do to ourselves. For much of my life, I have sought to promote and encourage ways we can work with, rather than against Nature.
"In other words, to restore balance to our planet, which is under such stress."
The cancer-battling monarch added: "This film will, I hope, demonstrate just some of the remarkable work being done around the world to put Harmony into practice, from the forests of Guyana to sustainable communities in India – and, closer to home, through the work of my King's Foundation at Dumfries House and Highgrove."
Sources familiar with the production said the inclusion of Harry's childhood footage was "hugely intentional."
'Family Still Matters'

The monarch is currently battling cancer, and last met with Prince Harry in late 2025.

One said the moment was "a blink-and-you'll-miss-it plea for reconnection," adding Charles was keen to show "family still matters, even when words have failed."
Another insider described the scene as "quietly tear-jerking," noting it stood apart from the film's otherwise global environmental focus. Charles and Harry last met in person in September 2025, after 19 months without seeing each other.
The meeting, which lasted 54 minutes, took place at Clarence House in London, where they shared a private tea. Insiders tell us a reconciliation had been "under consideration" for some time before the brief meeting.

The king is said to be hoping to fix his strained relationship with Prince Harry.
The father-and-son relationship has remained fraught since Harry and Markle stepped back from royal life, but the documentary's subtle gesture has been read by royal observers as a carefully calibrated attempt by Charles to keep the door open.
One palace aide told Radar: "The King is now clearly reaching out to Harry not through interviews or statements, but through memory, imagery, and the language of nature he has long made his own."
