Charles admitted that he was deeply affected by the film, recalling how he was brought to tears when he first watched it in Scotland.

The King also enjoyed a light-hearted exchange with actor Damien Lewis, who stars as Henry VIII in the BBC series “Wolf Hall.”

Lewis playfully teased Charles about his distant relation to the infamous monarch, to which the King responded with humor, complimenting Lewis on his performance and asking him to convey his regards to fellow actors.

Although Queen Camilla joined Charles at the reception, she later skipped the global premiere of “Gladiator 2” to focus on her recovery from a recent chest infection.
