King Charles celebrated Britain’s creative industries with a grand garden party at Buckingham Palace, attended by notable figures including TV presenter Maya Jama, filmmaker Louis Theroux, and director Sir Ridley Scott. The event aimed to champion art, film, fashion, and culture, bringing together roughly 4,000 industry representatives.

During a light-hearted exchange, Jama, who hosts Love Island, asked the King if he watches the show. Laughing, Charles replied, “There’s one born every minute.” Jama, dressed in a blue checked ensemble, chatted about her upcoming filming in Spain.

Theroux expressed disbelief at his invitation, remarking on the beauty of the day and speculating if the King might be a secret fan. Sir Ridley Scott, accompanied by his daughter Jordan Scott, was “incredibly honoured” to be part of the occasion. Fresh from a knighthood ceremony at Windsor Castle, Sir Ridley praised Charles for his inspiration.

Also mingling were Vernon Kay and Tess Daly, who appreciated their interaction with the monarch, and Sir Lenny Henry, who discussed literature and hats with the Queen. Artist Tracey Emin reflected on her conversation with the King about health and art, noting their coordinated pink attire, which Camilla playfully attributed to coincidence.

Queen Camilla and King Charles, sporting matching pink outfits, welcomed guests with warmth, even as Charles continues treatment for an undisclosed illness. The monarch’s vibrant presence highlighted his dedication to public duties and his commitment to celebrating Britain’s creative achievements.
