From Naomi Campbell to Joan Collins and more public figures share their personal recollections of King Charles and their hopes for his reign.
, designers, supermodels, activists, and public figures share their personal recollections of the new monarch, and their hopes for his reign.“Approachable” is how I would describe His Majesty King Charles III. We first met at the then-Rothschild family home, Waddesdon Manor, for Donatella Versace’s It’s Fashion charity gala, in 2001, and since then our paths have crossed a few times. Meeting him in Lagos was a highlight. I remember him being at his most charming there.
I was a teenager during the late Queen’s Coronation. I had a bunch of friends with me and we all went galloping to Oxford Street to catch a glimpse of the Queen’s coach. It was so fabulous because it was bright gold going through the shabby old torn streets of London, only five or six years after the war had ended, with bomb sites everywhere. Those were cold, dark days in Britain still, so it was incredibly exciting. Everybody felt that they were at the dawn of a new, young, renaissance world.
At one point, when we were visiting troops in Helmand province, our helicopter flight back to Kabul was delayed by a couple of hours due to technical difficulties. While people around us were worrying over how to get Prince Charles out of there, he just said, “Let’s go and have a cup of tea with the boys.” So we sat around drinking tea, eating biscuits, and listening to stories of life on the front lines, amid plenty of banter and laughter.
