KING Charles is set to retain his royal patronage of The Glasgow School of Art .It follows a review of the patronages of the late Queen and the former Prince of Wales including those he held in Scotland as The Duke of Rothesay.
In a statement the Palace added: "This continues the extensive and much-appreciated relationship that the School has enjoyed with His Majesty, as Duke of Rothesay, since he first offered his patronage to the School in the early 2000’s." King Charles visited The GSA in June 2015, just over a year after the first fire caused extensive damage to the Charles Rennie Mackintosh building.A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service investigation was unable to establish how the 2018 blaze started and recorded the origin and cause as “undetermined”.

Professor Penny Macbeth, director of GSA, said: “His Majesty has over many years shown a deep interest in the work of the school.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
