Sir Rod Stewart takes wife Penny Lancaster to meet King Charles as they are unveiled as ambassadors of his charity
ROCK star Rod Stewart proved ‘some guys have all the luck’ as he took wife Penny Lancaster to meet the King – as the couple also became patrons of Charles’s charity.
Charles, 76, placed a personal letter and pair of secateurs in a time capsule for the 35th anniversary of The King’s Foundation, at Dumfries House, in Scotland.
Sir Rod, whose hits included ‘Do you Think I’m Sexy’ and ‘Some Guys have all the Luck’ and wife Lady Penny were also yesterday unveiled as the newest ambassadors of the charity – alongside the likes of David Beckham.
The time capsule also contained marmalade, a local newspaper, flowers from the Dumfries House garden, photos and a bottle of whiskey.
It will be buried under Dumfries House and dug up in 100 years.
Before the King entered the room, Sir Rod – who has recently celebrated his 80th birthday – joked he was preparing to throw his watch into the empty box.
He then pretended to cower as Charles picked up his secateurs to place them in the capsule, to the King’s amusement.
Charles then put in his personal letter, saying “I’ll bury this at the bottom.”
The charity supports 15,000 students across its education programmes each year and said it has a positive impact on hundreds of thousands of people around the world through its community regeneration projects.
