as apple share (via Apple Post), members from across the UK welcomed King Charles III to the historic Battersea Power Station, which has been Apple’s UK headquarters since 2023. Children created festive artwork on iPads, which was then projected onto the building’s iconic chimney.

“We are honored to welcome His Majesty King Charles to Apple Battersea, our home in the UK, and we are proud to support the King’s Trust’s important work of educating and empowering young people,” said Cook. “We look forward to building on our more than 40-year history in the UK.”

Apple partners with The King’s Trust, a British non-profit organization that supports a number of programs that encourage students to learn programming. Some students had the opportunity to present their projects to Tim Cook and King Charles.

During the event, Tim Cook presented the king with a metal plaque to celebrate his visit. The event concluded with a concert by award-winning British musician RAYE.

Earlier this month, Apple partnered with award-winning animation studio Aardman to Use the iPhone 16 Pro Max camera to create a short stop-motion animation for “Wallace and Gromit”. The animation was also projected onto the chimneys of Battersea Power Station in London.
