While it’s often Prince Harry who steals the most tantalizing royal-related headlines, his dad Prince Charles sent fashion tails a-wagging in 2012 with his various sartorial do-good actions. Charles launched the first-ever London Collections menswear shows with a cocktail reception held in June. Months later, he sent a flock of sheep to New York’s Bryant Park to draw attention to his Campaign for Wool. And just this week, it was announced that Charles helped design a special line of socks, aptly named Corgi, to help celebrate his mother’s 60th anniversary on the throne.
