King Charles stepped out solo at the London premiere of “Gladiator 2” which also fell on his 76th birthday. On the carpet, the monarch shook hands with the film’s director Ridley Scott as well as its stars Pedro Pascal,

His seemingly unbothered attitude with regard to the British monarch didn't impact their later meeting. After his arrival, inside the theater, King Charles met the cast of Gladiator II, including Washington. "I didn’t know if I was supposed to grab your hand or not," the actor told the King as they met.
