The Prince and Princess of Wales have hired the man who was hailed for saving supermarket giant, Tesco.

Sir Dave Lewis, 59, has been appointed director of The Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

During his nearly seven years as Group CEO of Tesco, he was nicknamed “Drastic Dave” for his cost-cutting measures to turn around the brand.

Prior to that, the businessman spent 28 years at Unilever, where he oversaw the successful launch of Dove in the UK.

Sir Dave, who was knighted in 2021 for services to the food industry and business, is also executive chair of startup energy company Xlinks as well as on the board for PepsiCo.

William and Kate’s Royal Foundation is the umbrella organisation for all of their non-profit work, including the Princess’ Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood and the Prince’s Homewards and Earthshot Prize projects.
