On May 19, 2026, the 77-year-old monarch and Queen Camilla visited W5 LIFE at Odyssey Place, where Charles met young entrepreneurs backed by the King’s Trust. While chatting with stallholders he selected a beaded bag charm for 11-year-old Princess Charlotte from Empower Flower, a jewelry business run by Rachel Rose. Rose presented the charm and the King replied, "Thank you, she will love that." Rose later shared the moment on Instagram, saying she wanted to give back after dark times and to inspire people to craft by hand as part of the King's Trust 50 years celebrations.
