BOOK LAUNCH AT THE RITZ (LONDON) TO CELEBRATE PRINCE CHARLES’S 70th BIRTHDAY
To mark the 70th birthday of Prince Charles, the SJH Group (St James’s House) and the Royal Correspondent Robert
Jobson have produced a commemorative publication Our Future King: Prince Charles at 70. We’re very proud to
announce that Andy Harris and the British International School Wroclaw is one of a number of selected individuals
and companies featured in this publication.
Our Future King: Prince Charles at 70 is edited by the best-selling, award-winning author Robert Jobson, who has
chronicled the story of the House of Windsor for the past 30 years.
Celebrating a lifetime of achievement and heralding his current and future roles and responsibilities, this high-
quality, coffee-table book charts the Prince's seven decades; from his early years through to his present status as
one the most significant figures on the world stage. In recognition of Prince Charles’s passion for the environment,
innovation and education, the book contains articles on leaders in the field of ecological awareness, leaders in
learning, sustainable fashion, sustainable food, captain of industry, global hospitality and iconic style.
The fully illustrated hardback was launched in the refined setting of the Ritz London hotel in Piccadilly on 14th
November 2018.
Our Future King: Prince Charles at 70 can be purchased directly from the publisher, online or major bookshops.
