The King is to guest star in a special episode of The Repair Shop as part of the BBC’s centenary celebrations. In the programme, Charles will meet with the show’s host Jay Blades and his expert team of craftspeople to explore their shared passion for preserving heritage craft skills.

The team will mend two precious items chosen by the monarch, a piece of pottery made for Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee and a 18th century clock.The special was announced during The One Show on Tuesday, and the episode is set to air on 26 October at 8pm on BBC One.

In August 2021, the team of Jay, ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsay, horologist Steve Fletcher and furniture restorer Will Kirk were invited to Dumfries House in Scotland to meet the King, then the Prince of Wales.The episode will see Charles give Jay a tour of the estate as well as meeting some of the students on the Building Craft Programme set up by The Prince’s Foundation.

Jay, who grew up in Hackney, London, said: "You’ve got someone from a council estate and someone from a royal estate that have the same interests about apprenticeships and heritage crafts "It is unbelievable to see that two people from so far apart, from different ends of the spectrum, actually have the same interests." Meanwhile, the collections manager of Dumfries House, Satinder Kaur, gives the experts a tour of its collection of 18th century furniture and decorative arts.
