Burberry and Highgrove Release Capsule Featuring King Charles’s Watercolour

The silk scarf bearing an original King Charles painting signals the first use of his watercolor on clothing and ties the launch to Burberry’s royal warrant.

Overview

  • Burberry and Highgrove Gardens released the fifth Highgrove x Burberry capsule on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, and it reproduces an original King Charles watercolor of Birkhall on a silk scarf.
  • The collection reworks Burberry signatures — including the Waterloo trench and Mayfair jacket — using a bespoke bay-green House Check across coats, knitwear, linings and silk accessories.
  • This is the first time an original watercolour by King Charles has been applied to clothing, though Highgrove has previously sold his paintings as standalone prints.
  • Burberry promoted the launch with an animated Instagram post produced with Highgrove, and new pieces are listed for sale through Burberry and Highgrove Gardens’ channels and on the Highgrove website.
  • The capsule continues a partnership that began with a single coronation scarf in 2023 and underscores Burberry’s formal status as a royal warrant holder after the warrant was reinstated in May 2024, which may encourage further commercial use of the King’s artwork.
