Prince William’s Guest List Is Better Than Yours
Prince William hosted an impressive roster of stars at Windsor Castle for a charity gala last night, including Cate Blanchett, Kate Moss, and Emma Watson.
The Duke of Cambridge invited over 200 notable figures into the royal residence in support of London’s The Royal Marsden hospital, of which he is president.
Other notable famous faces who filed into the benefit at Queen Elizabeth II’s residence were Blanchett, Moss, Watson, Cara Delevingne, Benedict Cumberbatch, photographer Mario Testino, Helena Bonham Carter and singer Emeli Sande, who also performed at the event.
Fashion designer Ralph Lauren was the toast of the evening, with the prince revealing the style guru is funding a new state-of-the-art breast cancer research facility at the hospital.
The fashionable evening had one noticeable absentee, however – Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, who instead opted to stay home with their son, Prince George.
During the event, Bonham Carter admitted she was nervous about meeting Prince William again after a previous embarrassing encounter.
She told reporters, “The Duke and I met before, along with the Duchess, before they were married, when I was staying on Mustique (island). I got very drunk at one point and I was determined to ask him to be a godfather to my daughter. He quite wisely said no. I admire him. He has got the same grace as both his parents.”
