In addition, Prince Charles-Henri is a cultural ambassador for Chopard and has been linked to numerous celebrities including Katie Holmes[6] and Kate Moss.[7] He also appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show discussing the duties of being a royal.[8] Prince Charles-Henri also worked in the New York Stock Exchange as a money manager.[9] A white wine has also been named after him.[10]
