General Sir Mark Carleton-Smith, who presented the former monarch with the gift, told BBC, “It was a great privilege in celebration of Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee to hand over a small token of our gratitude and appreciation of our sovereign’s contribution to the Army over the last 70 years. We wanted something useful and relevant and always to hand that represented our loyal support and which Her Majesty might find helpful.”
It’s worth noting that King Charles has previously used Wall’s canes, and the stick maker has even spoken out about seeing the royal family use his creations. He also told BBC, “I was immensely proud [to see the walking stick on the balcony]…When I saw Charles the next day addressing the nation, he already had one of my sticks, so that’s both the Queen and the future king.”
Looks like the king is following in his mother’s footsteps.
