Bags with pick! How heart patient Charlotte became Royals’ favorite designer

It is the elegant, British handbags that have the royal seal of approval.

But behind the Charlotte Elizabeth range lies the moving story of the young woman who made it.

Charlotte Jones, 30, today has a very successful brand, which in the first years became more than £ 1.1 million and whose classic designs have been worn by the queen four times in the last two weeks.

Charlotte was diagnosed with an arrhythmia of 16 years, but surgery left her with pots (postural orthostatic Tachycardia syndrome)-what a rapid increase in heart rate causes standing, which leads to fainting or dizziness and serious post-traumatic stress.

She was ‘virtually bed -bound’.

Charlotte said to The Mail on Sunday: ‘The fact that I even talk to you here, let alone that I like it that I love and that the queen is wearing my designs is just incredible.

“At one point I didn’t even know if I would live to fight another day, or even want.”
