A different kind of holy. King Charles III and wife Queen Consort Camilla visited a mosque in London, but all eyes — and cameras — were on the hole in the monarch’s sock.Upon arriving at the mosque on Wednesday, February 8, the king, 74 — wearing a long overcoat over a dress shirt and midnight blue pants — took off his shoes, as is custom in the house of worship, revealing a small hole on the top of his right black sock.

Camilla, 75, added a white headscarf to her cream-colored ensemble when entering the mosque.Last month, Charles drew praise for his sustainable fashion after wearing a tweed coat he’s had since the 1980s.

His Majesty has long been a champion of environmental causes and sustainability — particularly when it comes to his own wardrobe.In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies“I happen to be one of those people who’d get shoes — or any item of clothing — repaired if I can, rather than just throw it away,” Charles told British Vogue in 2020.And that’s why I think, from an economic point of view, there are huge opportunities for people to set up small businesses involved with repair, maintenance and reuse,” he added, recalling, “When I was a child, we used to take our shoes down to the cobbler in Scotland and would watch with fascination as he ripped the soles off and then put new soles on.”Moreover, Charles explained to the style outlet, “It seems to me there are huge opportunities, particularly now, within the whole sustainable fashion sector, to counter this extraordinary trend of throw-away clothing—or throw away everything, frankly.”When it comes to the king, his personal style has not been too much on the forefront of fans’ minds as of late.
