King Charles and Queen Camilla led a dazzling evening of music and celebration at London’s Royal Albert Hall to mark 50 years of the King’s Trust.
“What a night!” ” said royal watchers as the King and Queen arrived to a star-studded welcome at the iconic venue, where TV favorites Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly welcomed the royal couple on the red carpet.
Charles looked relaxed and cheerful as he joked with the presenting duo, telling them it had been a “long time” since they last met while complimenting them on their youthful appearance.
Ant quickly laughed off the remark, joking that he wore “a lot of makeup.”
Inside the venue, the royal couple mingled with an extraordinary guest list including Hollywood stars, music legends and British celebrities.
Among the most talked about arrivals were George Clooney and Amal Clooney, with Queen Camilla apparently discussing makeup with Amal during the glamorous evening.
Beauty mogul Charlotte Tilbury also attended in a shimmering metallic dress, while stars including Benedict Cumberbatch, Gareth Southgate and Idris Elba joined the celebrations.
Rolling Stones legend Ronnie Wood and his wife Sally made a grand entrance in matching sunglasses, while Kate Garraway and singer Rita Ora added to the evening’s glamor.
Rita Ora then joined a star-studded musical line-up including Rod Stewart, Craig David, Anne-Marie and Jools Holland.
As Charles and Camilla took their seats in the royal box, Ruby Turner performed the national anthem, prompting the audience to stand before the evening’s entertainment began.
The celebration honored five decades of the King’s Trust, the charity founded by Charles in 1976 to support young people facing difficulties and disadvantage.
Since then, the organization has helped transform millions of lives in the UK and around the world.
