King Charles has been spotted rubbing shoulders with celebs like Maya Jama and Tess Daly at a Buckingham Palace garden party today, Wednesday 15 May, as he gets back into the swing of Royal duties. The 75 year old King, alongside Queen Camilla, Prince Edward, and the Duchess of Gloucester, hosted 4,000 guests from the worlds of culture, art, heritage, and entertainment to highlight their contribution to the UK's economy.
Stars such as Strictly Come Dancing host Tess Daly, her husband Vernon Kay and Love Island host Maya Jama - who looked incredible in an off-the-shoulder blue dress with a matching hat – were in attendance. Other famous faces on the guest list were model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and her beau Jason Statham, Capital FM's Roman Kemp, dance icon Dame Arlene Phillips, filmmaker Louis Theroux, and artist Tracey Emin.
Meanwhile, Queen Camilla looked stunning in a pink Anna Valentine dress and Philip Treacy hat, accessorised with the late Queen's pink diamond flower brooch, as she chatted away with Radio One's Clara Amfo and comedy legend Sir Lenny Henry. Buckingham Palace shared: "From theatre to video games, publishing to design, museums and galleries to film sets and music studios, the creative industries, and the creators and organisations within them, bring happiness, prosperity and help shape the world around us." The garden party was part of King Charles' packed schedule today, starting with a special service at St Paul's Cathedral where he and Camilla donned striking red robes.
This comes just a week after Prince Harry attended a solo service at the same venue for his Invictus Games during his UK visit last week, reports the Mirror.
