A Burberry Collection Inspired by Royalty and Nature
What could be more British than Burberry and the royal family?
In 1983, the-then Prince Charles stepped out with Princess Diana on holiday in Nova Scotia, Canada wearing matching his-and-hers trenchcoats from the British brand, which has held a royal warrant from Queen Elizabeth II and Charles, who is now King Charles III.
This spring, Burberry teamed with the king’s gardens in Highgrove, the private residence of the monarch, for a nature-inspired collection of 28 pieces including men’s and womenswear and accessories.

The brand also worked with the artist Helen Bullock, whose starting point was the gardens.
“The gardens are so vast and rich it was hard to decide where to start. But I soon fell for the tangled sway of wildflowers and that special combination of dancing poppies and cosmos,” she says, adding that Highgrove’s trees, arbors, flowers, honeybees and fountain sparked her creations.
