Meeting King Charles Twice in One Historic Week
It was a remarkable and historic week for us at Neal Jones Furniture, as we had the extraordinary honour of meeting His Majesty King Charles III not once, but twice last week.
On Monday, we attended a historic event at Lancaster Castle during King Charles’s first official visit to Lancashire as Monarch. The visit began with the ancient ceremonial tradition in which His Majesty was presented with the Keys to the Castle by the Constable, in his role as Duke of Lancaster. The occasion concluded with a private tour of the Castle, making it an unforgettable day.
Following our prestigious win of the King’s Award for Enterprise, on Thursday, we were invited to a Royal reception at Windsor Castle, where we had the privilege of meeting His Majesty to celebrate our achievements in business and innovation.
This rare opportunity to meet the King on two such momentous occasions was a source of immense pride for our entire team. It served not only as recognition of our craftsmanship and enterprise, but also as a celebration of Lancaster’s rich heritage and the strong ties between our region and the Royal Family.
