Apple CEO Tim Cook welcomed King Charles III of Great Britain to Apple’s U.K. headquarters Thursday in the iconic Battersea Power Station, Apple said. And it showed off a raft of photographs from the occasion, below.
“We were honored to welcome His Majesty King Charles to Apple Battersea — our home in the U.K. — and we’re proud to support The King’s Trust in its vital work educating and empowering young people,” said Cook. “We look forward to our continued growth here, building on more than 40 years of history in the United Kingdom.”

Cook and the king met at Battersea with Apple employees from across the country, members of the British creative community and “students who have learned vital new skills like coding from educational programs supported by Apple and U.K.-based nonprofit The King’s Trust,” Apple said.
The landmark Battersea Power Station has been Apple’s U.K. headquarters since 2023. Seminal rock bank Pink Floyd helped make it internationally famous by putting an image of the imposing structure on the cover of the 1977 album Animals.
“To mark the occasion, children from the nearby St. George’s Primary School created holiday artwork on iPad, which was then projected onto the power station’s iconic chimneys,” Apple said. “Apple CEO Tim Cook joined King Charles to welcome the local community to a special holiday concert by award-winning British musician RAYE.”
