A collective gift, a publicity stunt and a commitment to the environment. During the traditional Christmas trip to attend mass at Sandringham, members of the British royal family enjoyed showing off a gift from the King Charles III. Not just the Princess Anna and your husband Timothy Laurencebut also the Count of Snowdoncousin of the King, and Lady Louise Windsor, his granddaughter, wore a scarf around their necks that Hogwarts students would be proud to wear. The name? “The Highgrove Heritage Scarf.” “
The scarf is made of merino wool, known for its softness, warmth and elasticity. Above all, it was designed by the King himself, as part of a collaboration between his private company, Highgrove, his charity, the King's Foundation (formerly the Prince's Foundation) and fine cashmere and wool brand Johnston of Elgin. The Scottish company is B-Corp certified, an eco-label that guarantees compliance with environmental and social standards.
The King designed it based on the one already created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Campaign for woolof which he is the patron. This NGO works to raise public awareness about the “benefits of wool as a natural, renewable and biodegradable fiber […] for the protection of the planet and marine life […]”. This new creation is a fitting way to celebrate the 11th of the campaign, once again highlighting wool as the textile material of choice.” Notably, the wool used for the scarf is “sustainably sourced with full traceability” in Australia, according to the Highgrove boutique's website. The 'warm honey' shade is a direct reference to the colors of the estate's gardens and the emblematic Johnstons of Elgin bee is embroidered on the scarf.
The product is on sale in Highgrove's online store at a price of 115 pounds (approximately 133 euros), available for pre-order for delivery in April 2024. For every sale, 10% will be donated to the King's Foundation, which supports community, educational and environmental projects. The scarf is a perfect demonstration of King Charles III's environmental and creative commitment. It's no surprise to him that his family members agreed to serve as Christmas models and make an official appearance wearing it around their necks. A gift for a good cause.
