King’s film reveals his personal philosophy

There are glimpses in the film of Prince William and Prince Harry in archive footage, along with childhood images of King Charles.

There is an unexpected appearance from the Duke of York. Although in this case it is the name of a variety of potato that the King recommends as a good choice for baking.

“If you want to have a decent baked potato, which I love, you’ve got to have the crispy skins, so the red Duke of Yorks are very good,” he says.

The movie is promoting his world view about the interconnectedness of all things – and it is an example of how we are seeing more of the King as an inner man, beyond his role as a public figure.

It comes soon after an exhibition about another his personal passions, with his King’s Foundation displaying examples of icons that are an important part of the Orthodox faith.

It is an eclectic and international vision, with the film sweeping around examples of harmony in places including India, Guyana and Afghanistan.

But it is also a world in which the US politician we hear from is former vice president Al Gore, who has campaigned on climate change.

The King makes his own observation about his life of campaigning.

“Maybe, by the time I shuffle off this mortal coil, there might be a little more awareness… of the need to bring things back together again,” he says.
