London — Britain's senior royals, including the Fab Four, gathered to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the investiture of Prince Charles as the Prince of Wales.

The gala event was hosted by Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.

The queen and Charles were joined by his wife, Camilla, his two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, and their wives, Kate and Meghan.
