King Charles pushes beauty agenda on Deputy PM Angela Rayner
- King Charles and Angela Rayner met at Dumfries House in September, building a connection.
- Rayner visited Buckingham Palace to discuss planning applications with the King.
- The meeting highlights King Charles's increasing engagement with political figures.
In September, King Charles met Angela Rayner at Dumfries House in Scotland, where they apparently bonded during their meeting. The subsequent visit of the Deputy Prime Minister to Buckingham Palace on Wednesday underscores the King's growing interest in political figures and their perspectives, especially regarding beauty in planning applications, an area where he was reportedly trying to persuade Rayner. Though his attempts were not entirely successful, aides have observed that Charles has developed a positive rapport with the Deputy Prime Minister, indicating a potential shift in royal engagement with political leaders. Additionally, as the King contemplates the Elgin Marbles' return to Greece, he may also face growing pressure regarding the Koh-i-Noor diamond amidst diplomatic discussions with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
