- He toured exhibits spotlighting sustainable innovation, including Stella McCartney’s installation, Brand63Africa’s platform, and a King’s Foundation showcase, before taking his seat at 180 Studios.
- At Tolu Coker’s Fall/Winter 2026 show, the King sat front row between McCartney and British Fashion Council CEO Laura Weir, with attendees asked to stand on his arrival.
- McCartney was introduced as a new ambassador for the King’s Sustainable Markets Initiative, aligning with the monarch’s long-running environmental agenda including Terra Carta and the Campaign for Wool.
