Celebrity tailor Patrick Grant says King Charles is a lover of “beautiful things” and that they bonded over their shared admiration for traditional craftsmanship.
The Great British Sewing Bee judge shared his expertise as presenter of BBC documentary, Coronation Tailors: Fit For A King, which explores how the military uniforms were designed and made for the historic event on May 6. Speaking at the Royal Military Chapel in Wellington Barracks, London, Grant said: “I work a little bit for His Majesty, and I’ve met him on many occasions – he is a lover of beautiful things, he is a lover of clothes, he’s a lover of craftsmanship.
“He’s the patron of the Heritage Craft Association, which I’m also an ambassador for – all this stuff is really dear to his heart and it’s also really dear to my heart. I love beautiful, traditional craftsmanship in any way shape or form.”
