The Highgrove Panama Hat is available to purchase at Lock & Co. and from the Highgrove Shop's website from the 2nd of May 2023.
The Prince’s Foundation is responsible for opening Highgrove Gardens to the public, generating an annual income for the charity. All profits from sales of the hat will support The Prince's Foundation for its charitable delivery of education and training initiatives, some of which take place at Highgrove. The Prince’s Foundation’s base at Highgrove accommodates education and training opportunities in furniture-making, fashion, and textiles, and building craft skills.
Scott Simpson, Head of Group Retail for The Prince's Foundation, said: "We are delighted to announce the release of the Highgrove Panama Hat to mark the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. We are pleased to be working with Lock & Co. who exemplify excellence in British style and craftsmanship. As with all sales of Highgrove products, garden tours, and events, proceeds will be used to enable the life and work of The Prince's Foundation, including its range of inspiring education and training programmes."
Ben Dalrymple, Managing Director at Lock & Co., said: “Lock & Co. is both honoured and delighted to be working with Highgrove to produce these beautifully made Panama hats, the profits from which go towards raising vital funds for The Prince’s Foundation."
