Prince Charles was surrounded by celebrities as he attended a Prince’s Trust fundraiser on Thursday (09.02.17).
The 68-year-old royal happily chatted with the likes of Dame Joan Collins, Pixie Lott and Damian Lewis at the Invest in Futures fundraising event at London’s Savoy hotel.
The bash was also attended by actor Jeremy Irons and television personality and comedian Alexander Armstrong whilst Pixie brought along her mother and sister.
The Prince’s Trust was founded by the Prince of Wales in 1976 with the aim of supporting young people from the ages of 13 to 30 to find jobs or get into education and training.
Meanwhile, the Prince previously spoke of the importance of the Prince’s Trust as he collected the Londoner of the Decade award.
He said at the time: "I am most touched and, indeed, surprised, that the Evening Standard should have decided to give me the award of Londoner of the Decade. I have to confess I am not entirely sure whether to be pleased or alarmed. Perhaps I am losing my touch when such eminent newspapers start giving me achievement awards! So I set to wondering what this achievement might have been."
Speaking about The Prince’s Foundation for Building Community – another charitable organisation he has put his name to, he added: "The most successful communities mix the private with affordable housing; enclose green spaces within squares and communal gardens; provide good quality housing integrated with walkable, mixed-use neighbourhoods; good public transport and an identity that fosters pride and a sense of belonging. It is these qualities which attract so many people to London and, time and again, this is the sort of development that various surveys reveal is what many people would prefer to see."
