Overview

  • At a King’s Foundation awards ceremony at Buckingham Palace, Charles introduced Lancaster as "my favourite special constable," prompting her to redefine her public identity beyond being Rod Stewart’s wife.
  • Lancaster completed her special constable training with the City of London Police in 2021 and has volunteered at major events including the Queen’s funeral and the coronation.
  • She and Stewart became ambassadors for The King’s Foundation in January, supporting community-building initiatives and the promotion of green spaces.
  • The couple celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary with a nostalgic trip to Portino, Italy, where they originally exchanged vows.
  • Rod Stewart is set to headline the Legends slot on the Glastonbury Pyramid Stage this Sunday after recovering from flu that led to the cancellation of his June US shows.
