As of today, youth charity King Charles UK has officially changed its name and new branding has also been unveiled.
For almost 50 years it was called The Prince’s Trust, but will now be known as The King’s Trust after other entities around the world changed the name in April.
The trust’s new branding was created by designer James Somerville.

James said the new logo honors the King and is a symbol of the charity’s “connection and togetherness”.
He also said it was an “honor” and “privilege” to be behind the rebranding.
It also has a new slogan, which is: “Jobs for young people.”
Chairwoman Alison Brittain said the rebrand marked an “exciting new chapter” for the foundation.

She said: “As The King’s Trust continues to advocate for young people in the UK and around the world, we are equally committed to supporting young people to build the skills and confidence they need for work and, ultimately, a brighter future.”
Charles hoped that William and Harry would eventually take over the charity he founded in 1976.
Instead, William is focusing on issues like homelessness and mental health, and being heir to the throne.
