Harry and Meghan's pals George and Amal Clooney turn out to support King Charles
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's pals George and Amal Clooney have turned out in support of King Charles.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex - who have made many allegations against the Royal Family since stepping down - don't appear close to patching things up with the Firm.
But Hollywood actor Clooney, 62, and his wife, 45, are not taking sides after appearing at the Prince's Trust and TKMaxx & Homesense Awards 2023 in central London today.
The ceremony rewards the achievements of young people across the UK who have completed the charity's programmes.
The Clooneys attended Harry and Meghan's wedding in 2018, though reportedly admitted they didn't know the royal couple well at the time.

Since then the couples have apparently become closer and Amal was even included in a small group of friends at the Duchess' baby shower in New York the following year.
