George Clooney and wife Amal hold hands as they mingle with King Charles at Buckingham Palace
George Clooney and his wife Amal were in good spirits on Wednesday as they arrived hand-in-hand at the King's Trust Award at Buckingham Palace, London.
The actor, 64, and human rights lawyer, 47, dressed to impress as they attended the reception at the royal palace in the English capital.
George looked dapper in a gray suit while Amal stunned in a glamorous black and petite designer clutch.
The couple were seen chatting away to King Charles at the event. They have long supported the work of The King's Trust, formerly known as The Prince's Trust.
The Amal Clooney Women's Empowerment Award, launched in 2019 with the Trust, celebrates the achievements of inspirational female youngsters around the world.
Amal posed in a snap with Alice Ngitira who was nominated for a King's Trust award for her work with young people and her dedication to overcoming mental health challenges.
She was recognized for her crafting workshops which she developed when she was hospitalized.
Amal is known for her work defending women's and human rights issues across the world, while her and George co-founded the Clooney Foundation For Justice in 2016.
The non-profit organization focuses on defending human rights, particularly free speech and women's rights, by providing free legal aid and advocating for policy changes.
The King met with the winners of the eight UK categories during the day as well as the three winners of the three global categories ahead of the awards ceremony, which will be held at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Thursday.
