King Charles returned to Fortnum & Mason this week to celebrate his Coronation Food Project. Except this isn’t just any luxury grocer. It’s the same store whose iconic bags once delivered €3 million in Qatari cash to the then-Prince of Wales. Now he’s repurposing the scene of the grift as a symbol of royal benevolence.
It’s shameless. It’s brazen. But iPINIONS thinks it’s brilliant PR, really.
