interesting news about VC&A
some gardening good has come from those bracelets
It is Camilla’s favourite jewellery brand, with the Queen often seen sporting their quirky brooches or elegant bracelets. And now her love of Van Cleef & Arpels has been repaid with the company making a generous donation to one of her husband’s favourite projects.
Under a new deal, the high-end Paris-based brand will help pay for the upkeep of the gardens at Dumfries House, the Scottish stately home the King saved for the nation.
Part of the five-acre walled garden there will now be renamed the Van Cleef & Arpels Rose Garden in honour of their support, which also extends to looking after the woodland, hedgerows and borders.
Gardens at the Castle of Mey in Caithness and Highgrove in Gloucestershire will also receive funding from the 108-year-old firm.
The Castle of Mey, a favourite retreat for the Royal couple, was originally bought by the Queen Mother and is, like Dumfries House, looked after by the King’s charitable Prince’s Foundation.
