King Charles III and Queen Camilla honored the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's First Folios with British icons Dame Judi Dench, Helena Bonham Carter, and David Oyelowo.
The actors have quite a bit of experience under their belts, but in the palace video, they admitted that it was a difficult performance. Fearon said that it was one of the “toughest audiences.” Phelps added, “When I saw the people who were on the guest list a creeping panic started to emerge.”that the real issue was the acting royalty in the audience, not necessarily the Windsors. “I thought it was going to be a bit likewith Judi Dench holding up a card with a number seven on it,” she said.
In their post, the palace also pointed out the connection between the plays and the history of the royal family. “Well-known faces from @theRSC performed excerpts from some of the plays which would have been lost to us today had the folio not been published, and guests were able to view the First and Second Folios, which are preserved at Windsor,” it said. The post also explained a message left by one of the king’s ancestors, Charles I, who reigned from 1625 until he was executed in 1649.
