King Charles Steps Out After Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Arrest

by

King Charles III is not letting anything get in the way of his duty to serve. 

Just hours after his brother, Prince Andrew, was arrested, 77-year-old Prince Edward attended London Fashion Week on February 19th. He had a front-row seat at the Tolu Coker show held at NewGen Space on Strand.

The king dressed casually for the outing in one of his signature relaxed-fit gray suits. He paired it with a blue and white striped shirt, a patterned cream and blue tie, and a playful pink and blue polka dot pocket square. He appeared cheerful while greeting guests and carefully watched the fashion show, which showcased Coker’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection.

The designer didn’t know the king would be there when she started working on her new collection.

After the show, she told Vogue Business it felt like everything had fallen perfectly into place. She explained that having the King of England attend their event was a powerful way to showcase the vibrancy and beauty of London, celebrating everything the city has to offer.

Charles showcased his sense of style shortly after speaking about his brother’s arrest. His brother has been under investigation for possible connections to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender, and the arrest happened on the morning of February 19th.

He stated he was deeply concerned to learn about Prince Andrew and allegations of wrongdoing while in public office. He added that a thorough and fair investigation will now take place, handled by the relevant authorities.

King Charles and Queen Camilla have previously stated that their family is fully cooperating with authorities. This comes as his brother, Andrew, who recently turned 66, continues to deny any involvement in wrongdoing related to his relationship with a financier.

Charles stated he wouldn’t be making any further comments while the process is ongoing. He and his family will, however, continue to serve the public as usual.

I’ve been thinking about how thankful I am. It’s like a natural flow within us washes away our fears, leaving us cleansed and peaceful. We learn to accept our sadness and truly appreciate being alive, feeling connected to the calming power of nature – a gentle guide that helps us heal and remember.
