The Prince of Wales made a stop in Oxfordshire on Thursday to see the British Formula E team, Jaguar TCS Racing.

The team’s base, situated in Kidlington, highlights their commitment to electric technology, innovation and environmental sustainability.

Following his arrival this morning (Thursday, April 23), the Prince of Wales looked around the trophy room and chatted with technical personnel and employees.

The royal also met up with the team’s drivers and experienced sitting inside the cockpit of one of their Formula E vehicles at the location.

The Prince subsequently spoke with recent graduates about how they came to work at Jaguar and their experiences working at the Oxfordshire facility up to this point.

Having spent over an hour at the facility, His Royal Highness departed, offering well wishes to the team and saying goodbye.

The royal’s trip comes just weeks after his father, King Charles III, traveled to Oxfordshire in the nearby village of Yarnton.
