The Prince Of Wales is such a Charming Gentleman.

[@gorillachilla]

wish your family was like that

[@justjacqueline2004]

Hooray for Charles and promoting British made and he actually buys their products.

[@reneegiese6315]

He is the King of style, isn’t he.

[@katea127]

Shoe factory, it will be nice to visit and watch production from start to finish proxy.

[@basicdose.9872]

The Royal touch is magical. Isn't it.

[@union310]

The best pair of shoes I have ever owned.

[@glynisbeaumont-terry8058]

Prince Charles is such a genuine, charming man ❤️

[@mohammedditta738]

He has genuine interest in helping others to do well.

[@mimierdobor6150]

I pray Princes Charles become a king after the mother

[@jvdbn2030]

Indeed he will. There's no going around it. I mean, it's in the laws concerning succession; the Prince of Wales will definitely be King 👑

I think Northampton was famous for its milliners back in the day hence Northampton Town being affectionately known as ‘the Hatters’ good to see that skill and manufacturing is still going strong in the town. Well done Charles highlighting this success especially as the U.K. gets closer towards Brexit.

You are incorrect.Northampton is famous for shoemaking.You are being confused with hat making In Luton.Luton Town football Club are known as THE HATTERS.Northampton Town FC are affectionately know as THE COBBLERS.

Congratulations 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@usynnstradler]

I was thinking at the beginning, why are there so many bananas in the factory, till I later realised they weren't bananas at all haha

[@robfulano2552]

He is really interested. Very Nice.

God Save The Queen

[@shaunhagan1610]

Great combination, Trickers shoes and King Charles. I love both of them.

[@tahirahmed1776]

"I complained to God when i had no shoes, but i thanked him when i saw a man without legs"..........Great visit by Prince Charles to Trickers Factory and admiring their skillful work which made shoes which we just pay and buy but so many steps taken in making a shoe...Well done Trickers for completing your 190 years...

[@PtolemyXVII]

Tahir Ahmed it was quite nice. Prince Charles looks as handsome as ever 😊

[@stpeterscooksriver1873]

As a former resident of the county now living on the other side of the world, I hope my information is wrong, but it now being April 2024, and I’ve formed the impression that Northamptonshire no longer has a shoe industry, but has a University devoted to leather craft. Do correct me if I’m wrong. Go the Cobblers!

[@MyRackley]

Your information is entirely wrong! Northampton is indeed the shoemaking centre of the world.

[@stpeterscooksriver1873]

@@MyRackley I’m inclined to think this is the truth from Wikipedia: Historically, Northamptonshire's main industry was manufacturing of boots and shoes. Many of the manufacturers closed down in the Thatcher era which in turn left many county people unemployed. Although R Griggs and Co Ltd, the manufacturer of Dr. Martens, still has its UK base in Wollaston near Wellingborough, the shoe industry has deeply declined as manufacturing has moved away from England.

Does anyone know why Prince Charles’ face is perpetually red.

[@marcusp905]

Scrumpy cider

[@b1mfua33]

He has always had good colour.

[@gaila.6003]

He might have mild rosacea.

[@datrahardaway3347]

I bet those shoes are expensive but willlast you a lifetime

[@charleswatson1093]

@@gaila.6003 I think that you're probably right.

[@coolguy1983]

As an Irishman its not for me to say, though after my own people personally feeling the blunt of your Imperialistic and supremacist ideals, I cannot understand how anyone in their right mind casts praise and allegiance to a Monarch in the 21st century. Their time has past and their tyranny over, let them go!

[@union310]

Who cares what you think

[@charleswatson1093]

@Cool Guy Briefly, the sense of tradition and continuity, and the advantage of having an apolitical Head of State. There's no sense of tyranny or enforced laudation.

[@Jelly-hq7ug]

Because the past is the past. So move on. Also the type of people who will probably replace him will be very corrupt with all that fresh power/ wealth access and zero care for ideals. If this was last century I would have agreed but I am not impressed by the poor excuse of leadership I see around today. Keep the people who have been accustomed to money and wouldn't corruptly squeal in delight at the sight of a diamond.

Nice
