Charles the King and Camilla the Queen - What occurs at drama academies?
Could King Charles III (75) and Queen Consort Camilla (76) make a trip to high school one final time? The esteemed British royal pairing attended the famous drama school Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London on Wednesday morning (May 29) and mingled with students and staff members. However, they won't be performing at Shakespeare's RADA in the future - the purpose of their journey was to celebrate the institution's 120th anniversary, as reported by the "Daily Mail."
Their appearance marked their first public engagement since Prime Minister Rishi Sunak (44) declared the date for the general election a week prior. Reports suggest that there have been no other public appearances at the palace due to the avoidance of election-related distractions.
Prominent Alums
When they visited RADA, King Charles and Queen Camilla were greeted by the school's president, actor David Harewood (58), who has demonstrated his learned talents in films like "Blood Diamond" and TV programs like "Homeland."
Following the royal duo's visit, Harewood remarked: "It seems like theater is being eliminated from school curricula these days, which is rather unfortunate. I find it very nice that a reigning monarch is advocating for the arts."
A multitude of RADA graduates have demonstrated that their degree can pave the way for an international career, despite tough competition. Attendees of this prominent school include Richard Attenborough, Kenneth Branagh, Donald Sutherland, Ralph Fiennes, Anthony Hopkins, Alan Rickman, Gary Oldman, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, all of whom have excelled in the acting profession.
