During the special event, His Majesty praised his cousin Lady Sarah Chatto while reflecting on the school's legacy.

As per Hello!, he said, "I can't resist saying a few very small words because above all, I wanted to pay a very special tribute to darling Catherine who, can you believe it, it all goes back really to when my very special cousin, Sarah [Chatto].”

Charles added, “And Catherine were young 18-year-old students at Camberwell School of Art and used to come bouncing into my room. I remember that was where it all started. So when I needed somebody to start the life drawing classes at my original old Institute of Architecture in Regent's Park, I thought Catherine is the ideal person.”

The late Princess Margaret’s daughter Lady Sarah Chatto, 61, is a renowned artist who even showcased her work at The Redfern Gallery since 1995.

To note, King Charles co-founded the school in 2000 with artist Catherine Goodman.
