The king himself was the man of the hour, alongside Queen Camilla, at the fifth annual King’s Trust Gala, held Wednesday at Christie’s in Midtown Manhattan. Marking 50 years of the charity, which was called the Prince’s Trust until 2024, this year’s benefit featured an appearance by the royals, which was Charles’ first trip to New York since 2007. The gala began with a 4:30 p.m. red carpet and cocktail hour, where trays of “the queen’s cocktail” were on offer (gin, bitters, elderflower liquor and vermouth with a twist).
