King Charles certainly isn't the first person you picture sitting in the front row next to Stella McCartney at London Fashion Week. As our fashion features editor, Emma Childs, said in the Marie Claire Slack today, "King Charles at Tolu Coker is not a sentence I've ever imagined typing." But there was actually a very good reason for the monarch to be sitting at the British-Nigerian designer's show on Thursday, February 19— although the timing for his big moment wasn't ideal amid Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest.
The King's Foundation supports young people in learning traditional skills—including sewing, embroidery, millinery and other areas of fashion—and King Charles met with British makers and apprentices at 180 Strand, home of London Fashion Week.
