Apple’s UK headquarters recently became the backdrop for a unique royal visit as Tim Cook welcomed King Charles III to the historic Battersea Power Station. The event highlighted Apple’s commitment to education and community engagement in the UK, with a focus on empowering young people through technology and creativity.
During the visit, King Charles had the opportunity to meet students from educational programs supported by Apple in collaboration with The King’s Trust. These initiatives aim to inspire the next generation with coding skills and innovative thinking. Students showcased their projects to both the King and Tim Cook, underscoring Apple’s dedication to fostering talent and creativity.
To celebrate the occasion, Apple invited children from a local primary school to create festive artwork on iPads, which was projected onto Battersea’s iconic chimneys, blending technology with tradition in a striking display. The visit concluded with a special performance by British artist RAYE, adding a musical note to the memorable day.
This visit underscores Apple’s growing presence and influence in the UK, as well as its long-standing commitment to education and innovation, marking another chapter in its four-decade history in the region.
