The Prince of Wales opened the new global headquarters of British fashion house Burberry, at Horseferry House in London: totalling 160,000 sq ft over eight floors, houses over 800 employees and comprises cutting edge show rooms, design studios, modern contemporary office space and photo studios together with the exterior architectural features of the original 1930s building.The Prince told staff: 'I think it’s a really good, worthwhile British flagship company that clearly has a remarkable brand image all around the world.' (...) 'I think it’s remarkable you have managed to maintain that and improve even more on the reputation.'
He was shown a yellow trench coat, one of 12 made for the 1990 film Dick Tracy starring Warren Beatty, and told Burberry’s creative director Christopher Bailey: 'I love the colour.'
