The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall attempted to hide their royal persona’s behind a pair of sequined masks, all in the name of charity!
The royal pair were seen sporting fabulous black masks as they hosted a celebrity-filled masquerade ball for an animal charity.
WATCH! Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles are unrecognisable behind animal masks!
Prince Charles and Duchess of Cornwall mingled with their famous friends at charity ball‘s reception at Clarence House, including internationally renowned designer Vivienne Westwood, actor Douglas Booth and artist Tracey Emin.
The glitzy ball, which saw guests wear colourful animal-themed headgear, was in aid of the Elephant Family – an international NGO dedicated to protecting the Asian elephant from extinction in the wild.
The population of Asian elephants has roughly halved in the last 50 years in the face of poaching, a growing skin trade, and demand for wild-caught babies for tourism.
Some 90% of the animals’ habitat has also disappeared in that time.
Elephant Family funds pioneering projects across Asia to reconnect forest fragments, prevent conflict and fight wildlife crime.
The charity has funded more than 160 conservation projects and raised nearly 20 million for the endangered animal through public art events since it was launched in 2002.
The royal couple were seen laughing with formally dressed guests, some of whom were wearing extravagant elephant, leopard and sea-themed headpieces for the animal ball.
The charity holds a special place on the heart of the Duchess, as it was Camilla’s late brother Mark Shand who was the founding force behind the charity.
