King Charles Attends Royal Variety Performance Without Queen Camilla

Queen Camilla withdrew from the event due to lingering post-viral symptoms, leaving King Charles to make his first solo appearance at the annual charity event as monarch.

Queen Camilla was advised by doctors to rest after experiencing lingering symptoms from a chest infection, leading her to cancel her attendance at the Royal Variety Performance.
King Charles, attending the event solo for the first time as monarch, expressed gratitude for the Royal Variety Charity's ongoing support for entertainment industry professionals in need.
The star-studded event featured performances by Sir Elton John, Vanessa Williams, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and Penn & Teller, among others, with highlights including a number from 'The Devil Wears Prada' musical.
Comedian Matt Forde's impression of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump drew laughter from King Charles during a politically charged routine.
Proceeds from the performance will support the Royal Variety Charity's new mental health initiative, providing grants to entertainment workers facing challenges such as anxiety and depression.
