King Charles Attends London Fashion Week Amid Ex-Prince Andrew's Arrest

King Charles made a public appearance at London Fashion Week shortly after ex-Prince Andrew's arrest, showing that official duties for the British royal family continued. The monarch attended Tolu Coker's runway show and visited other exhibitions, including those by Stella McCartney and Brand63Africa. At the opening show of London Fashion Week 2026, King Charles sat front row at Tolu Coker's presentation, alongside Laura Weir, CEO of the British Fashion Council. McCartney also joined them for the opening show. Hours before King Charles arrived in Central London, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, reportedly linked to his association with Jeffrey Epstein. Charles addressed the arrest in a press release, expressing concern and pledging full support and cooperation to the authorities. Reports indicated that neither King Charles nor Buckingham Palace had prior knowledge of the arrest. Before attending London Fashion Week, the King held audiences at St. James's Palace, while Queen Camilla carried out engagements, meeting musicians at a lunchtime concert in London.
