£12.00To commemorate the 35th anniversary of the King’s Foundation, King Charles contributed a personal letter to be placed in a time capsule at Dumfries House, located near Cumnock in Ayrshire. This capsule will remain buried until 2125. The ceremony was attended by the singer, Sir Rod Stewart, and his wife, Penny Lancaster, who are also ambassadors of the charity.
The King’s Foundation was initially founded as the Prince of Wales’ Institute of Architecture in 1990 and was established to promote sustainable living and a better relationship between the public and nature. It supports around 15,000 students through its nature-based education programs and countless more with community regeneration projects. The foundation was incorporated into the Prince’s Foundation in 2018 and became the King’s Foundation after King Charles’ ascension to the throne.
The charity’s base is at Dumfries House, purchased by King Charles when he was still Prince of Wales in 2007. The monarch was residing in the estate when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, became seriously ill shortly before her passing in September 2022. While the contents of King Charles’ letter remain unknown to the public, it is expected that it will reflect on the positive impact that the King and his foundation have had on the world and its communities.
The CEO of the charity, Kristina Murrin, hopes that those who will uncover the time capsule will recognize the contributions that the king and his foundation have made over the last 35 years.
