It's not uncommon to see stars from the world of sports and showbiz sharing the frame with members of the royal family, and it was evident on King Charles and Queen Camilla's state visit to the US as well. The King’s Trust, formerly known as the Prince's Trust, marked its 50th anniversary on May 11, 2026, at the Royal Albert Hall, with King Charles III and Queen Camilla in attendance. The gala celebrated the charity's work benefiting over 1.5 million young people since 1976, featuring performances by Rod Stewart and Rita Ora, and an awards ceremony honoring the program's success stories.
