Last week, Prince Charles gave a speech, partly in German. Now he has proven his talent for languages again and promoted sustainable fashion.
Last Sunday (November 15), Prince Charles (72, "Harmony: A New View of Our World") surprised those present in the German Bundestag when he gave his commemorative speech on the day of national mourning partly in German. In a video message, the British heir to the throne used his language skills again and addressed words of encouragement to the participants in a conference on sustainability in the fashion industry.
The Fashion Council Germany, the interest group for German fashion, uploaded Prince Charles' welcome on Friday (November 20) on YouTube. In it, the son of Queen Elizabeth II (94) emphasized in easily understandable German: "The opportunity to exchange knowledge, skills and experience across borders is of fundamental importance in order to lead the fashion industry into a more sustainable future."
Prince Charles' The Prince's Foundation and the Fashion Council Germany are working together
The 72-year-old is particularly pleased that "so many established and talented personalities and companies are taking part in this conference and taking the time to pass on their knowledge, skills and passion to the next generation". As well as the fact that the partnership between his educational institution The Prince's Foundation, founded in 1986, and the German Fashion Council is growing. Both organizations would "jointly believe in the fundamental importance of a sustainable and responsible fashion industry".
Around 80 students and industry experts from Germany and Scotland took part in the so-called sustainability e-conference.
