King Charles Marks 50th Anniversary of The King's Trust with Gala at Royal Albert Hall

King Charles and Queen Camilla joined Hollywood actors and musicians at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Monday night to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The King's Trust. George Clooney and Amal Clooney, Benedict Cumberbatch and Sir Idris Elba were among those attending the event, BBC News reported.

Rita Ora, Ronnie Wood, Sir Rod Stewart, Jools Holland, Craig David and Anne-Marie performed during the evening, which was hosted by Ant and Dec.

Ruby Turner sang the National Anthem at the start of the King's Trust 50th anniversary event. King Charles arrived in the royal box as Turner and the audience performed the anthem. During an interval Sir Rod Stewart turned to the King and said: "May I say, well done in the Americas.

King Charles appeared to laugh off the remark. At the end of the night the King joked about the hosts. "I've always wondered whether someone would put Ant and Dec back in their box," he said. King Charles then thanked staff and everyone involved in The King's Trust.

He added that he hoped it would go on for "as long as possible". The ceremony featured awards given to young people helped by the charity. Musa received the L'Oreal Paris Rising Star Award after fleeing Sudan, arriving in Glasgow and being referred to The King's Trust Explore programme.

He now works for a landscaping company in the city. Naina received the Amal Clooney Woman's Empowerment award. She grew up in rural India, withdrew from school and was supported by The King's Trust partnership with the Aga Khan Foundation to rejoin.

She now provides training to other girls to stay in education. Brandon Tattersall, from Chorley, Lancashire, received the Homesense Young Achiever Award. Sir Gareth Southgate presented the award to him.

Tattersall struggled with mental health after long-term unemployment before The King's Trust helped him into a Business Administration programme that led to a work placement and permanent career with the same company. The King's Trust was founded in 1976 by King Charles when he was the Prince of Wales. It was established with the aim to end youth unemployment.
