During their visit, they also tried on virtual reality headsets and saw how Google Arts & Culture allows internet users to explore historic locations and sites in an interactive way. Archaeologist Jago Cooper of the British Museum showcased the Ancient Maya project, which explores the story of the Maya through interactive photos and video.
Next, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall visited Yoox Net-a-Porter's (YNAP) cutting edge Tech Hub office in White City, which has been developed by the online fashion retailer as part of their investment in technology and operations.

As part of the tour given by CEO Frederico Marchetti and Caroline Rush of the BFC(British Fashion Council), Their Royal Highnesses visited a showroom featuring British brands and sustainable fashion and met students who were taking part in coding workshops.
Inside, new British talent in sustainable fashion, textiles and design industries were showcasing their works.
British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful met The Prince of Wales for the first time. He said: "I love what he does for fashion, the new generation. I'm a huge fan. It's a real honour."
