Fashion Fit for Britain’s Prince Charles
- Share via
LONDON — Britain’s Prince Charles, lover of all things natural, will launch his own line of country clothing to help revive the rural economy, the Sunday Times reported.
The royal fashion label will use only wool supplied by British sheep farmers, and the products will be made in rural workshops, the paper said.
It quoted an informed source as saying the project was motivated by Charles’ “deep sense of obligation” to tackle the crisis in agriculture.
Britain’s agricultural industry was ravaged by last year’s foot and mouth epidemic.
According to the National Farmers’ Union, the average farmer earned just $15,270 in the year that ended in February.
