‘Glad you think it has style’: Prince Charles tickled by British Vogue editor-in-chief’s praise for his dress sense
- Heir to the British throne is used to seeing daughters-in-law Kate and Meghan hailed for their fashion sense, but it is his take on style Edward Enninful hailed
- Prince Charles, who is known for his double-breasted suits, used his interview with the magazine to make the case for less throwaway fashion
His daughters-in-law Kate and Meghan are regularly lauded for their fashion sense, but 71-year-old Prince Charles, well-known for patching-up and mending his clothes, has probably been considered a less likely British style icon – until now.
“I’ve always admired the way you dress,” Edward Enninful, editor-in-chief of British Vogue, told Charles in an interview for the fashion magazine’s latest edition.
The praise for his timeless dress sense seemed to take the heir-to-the throne, who usually favours double-breasted suits accompanied with a tie and matching handkerchief, by surprise.
“I thought I was like a stopped clock … people come round after 25 years to dressing like I do,” he said with a laugh. “I’m very glad you think it has style. I mind about detail and colour and things like that.”
