King Charles has joined the stars of Gladiator II at the film’s glitzy premiere at Leicester Square. The monarch joined actors like Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington, alongside director Ridley Scott.
Although His Majesty was supposed to be joined by wife Queen Camilla, she decided to skip the event as she continues to recover from a chest infection. At the event, Charles looked dapper in a black bow tie, white shirt and black jacket as he stood with the likes of Paul, Denzel and Pedro Pascal.
Earlier in the day, Charles and Camilla had hosted a reception to mark the centenary of the Film and TV charity. Charles has been the patron of the charity since 2022, following the death of his mother, the late Queen.
