George and Amal Clooney brought a touch of glamour to the King’s Trust Celebration at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Monday night.
The glitzy event was to mark the 50th anniversary of the charity, with the likes of singer Rita Ora, actress Lily Collins, Ronnie and Sally Wood and Fearne Cotton also attending.
The King’s Trust, formerly known as The Prince’s Trust, helps those from disadvantaged communities and those facing adversity by supporting them to build the confidence and skills to live, learn and earn.
Since the Trust was founded by The King, as Prince of Wales, in 1976 it has helped more than a million young people across the UK.
King Charles wore a smart navy suit for the occasion and Queen Camilla cut a stylish figure in a purple lace dress as they arrived last.
Amal, 48, dazzled at the event, organised in partnership with TK Maxx, in a gorgeous sequin gown which she teamed with matching heels and a sleek bag.
George, 65, looked dapper by her side in a navy suit and looked every inch the Hollywood star in dark shades.

The night celebrates the courage, creativity, and achievements of young people supported by The King’s Trust in the UK and around the world and the national King’s Trust Celebration winners will be announced on the evening.
King Charles and Queen Camilla were the last guests to arrive for A King’s Trust Celebration, which brought together ambassadors, alumni, staff and volunteers.

During the evening, Their Majesties will meet this year’s King’s Trust award winners, accompanied by their award presenters, as well as Trust ambassadors and performers.
They will also be invited on stage later for a group photo with The King’s Trust award recipients, and a ‘three cheers’ moment with the audience.

It comes after just last week George and Amal enjoyed a sun-drenched sojourn in St Tropez, where they celebrated the actor’s milestone 65th birthday.
The couple laughed and chatted together after enjoying a leisurely lunch with friends at Club 55, an exclusive club and restaurant offering breathtaking views.
Their day trip included a boat ride from the yacht to shore and even then, Clooney stayed glued to his wife’s side.
Last month, in an interview with Page Six at the 51st Chaplin Award Gala, where he was being honored, the Oscar winner was asked about the big birthday coming up and whether it was like ‘the third act.’
‘Well, let’s hope! Depends on how long the whole show runs,’ Clooney quipped.
He spoke about his time being more focused on philanthropy these days, such as the Clooney Foundation for Justice, which he founded with Amal.
‘I’m spending it more working on the foundation, working more on the schools and doing things that I find more fulfilling because I’m not chasing a career anymore, you know.
‘That’s helpful in a way because you get to spend time working on things that matter to you at least. And so that’s where my focus is. But, you know, if you get a good part, you take it.’
