Formerly called the Prince\u2019s Trust, the organization was founded in 1976 by Charles, then Prince of Wales, to help young people across the United Kingdom (and beyond) find and prepare for professional opportunities. In the half-century since, the trust has helped more than a million individuals.<\/p>\n Celebrating the milestone, the royals were joined by the King\u2019s Trust ambassadors, alumni, staff, and volunteers at the Royal Albert Hall. The Clooneys were among those who attended<\/a>, and for the occasion, Amal wore an Art Deco-inspired Alexander McQueen gown, embellished with gold sequins. Next to her, George went with a navy-blue suit and geometric tie. Lily Collins<\/a> also showed up for the festivities, wearing a strapless, square-neck dress from Carolina Herrera\u2019s Fall 2026 collection. As for the king and queen consort themselves, Charles elevated a blue suit with a patterned tie and Camilla layered a magenta cape over a purple floral dress.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I began what is now the King\u2019s Trust in 1976, I could not possibly have imagined the impact it would have,\u201d the king shared<\/a>. \u201cUsing my Royal Navy severance pay to start it off, the Trust aimed to help disadvantaged young people fulfill their potential. Over the last 50 years, the work of my Trust has proved beyond doubt that supporting young people through personal development and the acquisition of self-confidence and self-esteem can make a real difference and transform lives.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIn the beginning, I hoped that by supporting young people to develop their latent skills and to find work or training, the Trust would perhaps be able to help change some individuals lives for the better,\u201d he continued. \u201cAs you can imagine, I am so very pleased and proud that the Trust\u2019s work continues to go from strength to strength.\u201d<\/p>\n Ahead, see all the photos from the King\u2019s Trust Gala.<\/p>\n You Might Also Like<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
