A-List Stars and Sporting Legends Celebrate with King Charles III
World Star Trio Meets with New Monarch King Charles III - Monarch Charles III encounters noteworthy threesome of renown
Get this goss! The guest list was pure royalty: King Charles III (76), the Crown's latest occupant, welcomed none other than Oscar-winning actresses Meryl Streep (75) and Kate Winslet (49), and former football icon David Beckham (50) to St. James's Palace last Thursday. Photos from the bash, an awards ceremony for King Charles' charitable King's Foundation, show these celebs mingling with the British monarch.
Streep's Yank humor had 'em all laughing! Charles seemed to find the American's jokes bloody hilarious, judging by the snapshots where she's in stitches. Beckham and Winslet, both Brits, weren't far behind, chatting away with their sovereign. Also at the event was actor Stanley Tucci (64), who's had a few shindigs with the Royals this year.
A 35-Year Legacy
The ceremony, launched by Charles back in '90 when he was still the Prince, bestows annual prizes for sustainability. The foundation, now based at Scottish Dumfries House, trains around 15,000 students yearly in craftsmanship, architecture, agriculture, and urban revitalization. Beckham's been the foundation's ambassador for a year or so.
Beckham teamed up with Streep, Winslet, and Tucci once more to dish out some awards, including the event's 35th birthday bash. You hear that? Beckham's close to bagging a significant title himself. The BBC fessed up last week that ol' Dave's about to get knighted, turning him into Sir David Beckham!
