The King is an “absolute trailblazer” regarding his work on sustainability, fashion designer Dame Anya Hindmarch said as she was honoured at Buckingham Palace.
Among other royals who have been spotted sporting the Essex-born designer’s pieces is Princess Eugenie, who carried one of Dame Anya’s “crisp packet” clutch bags at the wedding of Pippa Middleton and James Matthews in 2017.
Dame Anya’s designs have been supported and worn by members of the royal family including the Princess of Wales and her late mother-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales.
In 2007, Dame Anya unveiled the I’m Not A Plastic Bag tote line to raise awareness of the waste and environmental damage perpetuated by plastic bags.
The English designer, who is known for her humorous and eye-catching bags, was formally made a Dame Commander at a ceremony on Tuesday where she was honoured for services to fashion and business.
