Overview

• ITV will broadcast the 90-minute feature, Steve Backshall's Royal Arctic Challenge, over Christmas in the UK.
• The film follows Backshall as he retraces the then-Prince’s 1975 Canadian Arctic expedition to assess how the region has changed.
• King Charles takes part in an on-camera discussion of climate change, with archival footage from his original trip included.
• Backshall and director Marshall Corwin say the project reveals the King’s adventurous side and long-standing commitment to conservation.
• A separate Prime Video documentary about the monarch’s conservation vision is also reported for early next year, with Passion Planet producing alongside The King’s Foundation and Amazon MGM Studios.
