/
The beautiful, meticulously-maintained gardens of Highgrove House hosted this exquisite cover story in Harper’s Bazaar UK [IG] June 2023,featuring model Aishwarya Gupta, of Indian heritage.
The private residence of King Charles and Queen Camilla was used in a collaboration with The Prince’s Foundation, for which British Vogue EIC Edward Enninful is an ambassador. [See link end of this post].
The newly-crowned royal couple Charles and Camilla’s convoy was seen Saturday evening May 6, 2023 passing through Tetbury in their maroon Bentley, less than two miles from their Highgrove Estate.
Gupta is styled by Cathy Kasterine in ‘By Royal Appointment’, with a focus on British designers Alexander McQueen, Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood, Bella Freud, Burberry, Chopova Lowena, Emilia Wickstead, Erdem, Feng Chen Wang, Harris Reed, Margaret Howell, Molly Goddard, Richard Quinn, Roksanda, Simone Rocha, Victoria Beckham and more. The designers receive support from The Prince’s Trust for various projects.
Photographer Richard Phibbs [IG] writes on his IG that this is the first fashion shoot ever at Highgrove. Congrats to the enormously-talented Phibbs, originally from Calgary in Canada. Richard has seen the world since graduating from the University of Toronto and heading to Parsons in New York City.
The Sustainable-Living King
King Charles III has a long history of promoting sustainable living in every aspect of his life and is a well-established advocate for fashion designers and artisans promoting both ethical consumption and practices across Britain.
Charles III has worked for years with Stella McCartney, and I envision Stella really leveraging that relationship in her relentless advocacy for sustainability practices in the fashion industry.

The person introducing King Charles in the TIME 100 2023 issue is Edward Enninful, OBE, editor-in-chief of British Vogue and Vogue European editorial director. [OBE stands for Order of the British Empire.]
The high-achieving Enninful agrees that on the face of it, he grew up a young Black boy in Ladbroke Grove without understanding how intimately involved then Charles, Prince of Wales was with the Prince’s Trust. The charity had dramatic impact on the lives of Edward’s community, directed by the then Prince on many fronts.
