Hollywood King Charles hangs with more stars than Meghan Markle

0:02 Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intry Game your host Mark Francis. King Charles had a moment of red carpet humor with Denzel Washington at the premiere of Gladiator two last week in London. The event, held at the Leicester Square Odion, marked this year's Royal Film Performance, a longstanding fundraiser for the film and TV charity. King Charles, the charity's patron, was there to show his support for behind the scenes workers in the entertainment industry, and presumably because he likes movies about gladiators. Pedro Pascal hit the red carpet with his sister Lux, whose dress featured a cutout so bold it probably needed its own stylists. Between Pedro's iconic charm and Lux's statement ensemble, it's safe to say the Pascal family stole the show. One fan joked, when your sibling is Pedro Pascal, you have to go big or go home, and Lux did not go home.

1:01 Not to be undone, King Charles made an appearance working the red carpet in a classic tux, shaking hands with stars like Denzel Washington and Paul Meskill, who supported a scruffy chic look that's perfect when you're late to gladiator trainings but still need to impress the emperor. The king even managed to keep a straight face while standing next to Pedro, whose outfit looked like the inspiration for business casual gladiator. Washington admitted to a slight protocol mixup. I didn't know I was supposed to grab you, not, Washington equipped, before adding, but it's my pleasure. Denzel brought his signature charisma and a dash of rebellion to the premiere, adding a layer of entertainment that rival of the Red Carpet itself. Fans on x were buzzing about an exchange where Denzel, unfazed my royal protocol apparently defied security instructions to go inside because the king is here. One fan wrote, Denzel told security I make my own rules and continued to talk to us. The viral post unleashed a flurry of hilariously irreverent comments. One fan quipped, I just assumed and Denzel was the king in question, while another added telling an American to go inside because the king is here is hilarious. We don't give a hoot about the monarchy.

2:09 Before the premiere, Charles hosted a film and TV reception at Buckingham Palace, welcoming industry figures alongside Queen Camilla, who departed early due to a chest in faction. The King's dedication to the arts was clear, though perhaps not as clear as Luxe Piscal's dress, which undoubtedly remains the talk of the evening. The synopsis of Gladiator Too gives us a tale of Lucius grappling with the aftermath of his royal family's betrayal, losing his home and dealing with tyrannical rulers swapped the Colisseum for Montecito, and Lucius might want to call Harry for advice. It's possible Charles missed the point of the movie. Earlier that day, Camilla had joined the King at Buckingham Palace for a reception celebrating the Charities Centennial. The event featured costumes from iconic British films and star studded guest list including Damian Lewis and Joseph Fines.

2:56 During the reception, the King praised Camilla's recent domestic violence awareness documentary, Her Majesty, The Queen Behind Closed Doors. I'm very proud of it, he told the producers of wolf Hall it reduced me to tears. Since Charles had a plus one and Camilla couldn't make it, he brought someone else along. There's no sense in wasting a good seat and Gladiator movie. Royal watches were curious about the woman accompanying him in the car. Do we have a new royal scandal to carry us with holidays until Kate returns and Megan finally launches her designer jam and dog biscuit business. Unfortunately no. The woman by his side was his assistant Private secretary, whose role in revising the king on state and Commonwealth matters probably doesn't include tips on navigating Hollywood glitz.

3:41 The King didn't exactly take a day off for his seventy six birthday either. Thursday saw him opening Coronation Food hubs in Deptford and Knowlesley, proving that even the monarch's calendar is packed tighter than an average lunchbox. He even received a birthday serenade from school children who presented him with a homemade card. When asked if he'd be relaxing for the big day, Charles quipped not quite. On Facebook, reactions ranged from happy Birthday to the King to man with a gold coach and gold hat opens a food bank. There's something wrong in that sentence. Critics pointed out the irony of the monarch with a reported one point eight billion pound fortune spearheading food aid projects instead of tackling systemic poverty or addressing governmental shortcomings. Does he just not see the irony? One commenter asked, well, he also didn't see the irony in watching a movie about an angry young man trying to overthrow the empire, speaking which Harry did not appear to publicly wish Charles a happy birthday.

4:35 Good wishes flooded in from all the usual suspects, including Prince William and Kate Middleton, who even shared a cheeky photo to mark the day, But eagle eyed royal watchers noticed that glaring emission, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were radio silent. No Instagram stories, no Archwell website updates, not even a carrier pigeon. Did they even send Charles a box of jam? Never mind he sells his own. To be fair, the Sussex's don't have a thriving social media presence these days. Their former joint Instagram account has been retired, and while Megan's rumored lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard has its own accounts, they've yet to dabble in birthday shoutouts. The couple's Archboll Foundation does have a website, but alas no birthday banner for Charles. All that said, we can imagine we will hear from all sorts of royal sources telling us versions of the story where Harry did call and everyone is really close to getting back together, or the version where Harry called and Charles refused to take it, or the version where this is all Megan's fault, and the version where Kate is working behind the scenes to get everyone back together, but Megan wants to stay home for Christmas. Pallacentrica be right back. Royal historian Tessa Dunlop was not impressed by the Gladiator to Premier, suggesting it needed a touch of Sussex. She told The Mirror the royal family might think they are above such glitzy gimmicks.

5:52 There would be a mistake, after all, waiting in the wings or ex Royals, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex instinctively glamorous, with bundles of Razmataz, the Californian coup will have an effortless knack for combining Showby's gloss in public do gooding. There is a vacuum at the top of the problem with vacuums. There is a vacuum at the top and the problem with vacuums as they invital sorts of unwanted intruders. The Royal Machine has clearly decided that they can compensate for a depleted public presence with relentless philanthropy on ITV. We're not sure what he's talking about. Do me not telling you that Charles was hanging with Denzel and Pedro Pascal Harry's hanging out with a guy named Nacho. Charles, also known as mister Showbiz, is gearing up for a sparkling evening as he will attend the ninety seventh Royal Variety performance on Friday at London's Royal Albert Hall. The iconic venue hosting the event for the sixth time, is ready to roll out the red carpet for the Monarch and the Queen. Charles, the new patron of the Royal Variety Charity, is no stranger to the event, having first attended in nineteen sixty eight. This marks his sixteenth appearance, with his last involvement being a virtual message in twenty twenty. Camilla also has graced the event five times, with her most recent attendance in twenty sixteen. Chiles Cooper, chairman of the Royal Variety Charity, expressed delight at their Majesty's participation, emphasizingly during bond between the Royal Family and the entertainment industry. He noted the event's significance in funding the charities mental health and addiction support initiatives for performers.

7:23 The Royal Variety Performance, the world's longest running entertainment show, raises funds to support industry members through grants and assistant programs. And there you have it.
