Carnival returns and gets a royal approval
Matthew Phillip, CEO of Notting Hill Carnival Limited, believes the visit will boost perceptions of the occasion. Speaking tosaid: “The visit of Prince Charles and his wife at the heart of the Carnival community will add to the acceptance of the event, among mainstream Britain. “Going back to the mid-1970s Prince Charles sent messages of support to the organisers of the Notting Hill Carnival and when local politicians demanded the event be stopped, he came to our assistance.”
