Music legend Rod Stewart and his wife, Penny Lancaster,
have recently taken on a significant new role as the newest celebrity ambassadors for The King’s Foundation.
This announcement comes just days after Stewart celebrated his milestone 80th birthday, marking a new chapter for both him
and his wife in their ongoing support for charitable causes.
The couple will join an esteemed group of figures, including David Beckham and Sienna Miller, in representing the King’s Foundation,
and they are set to visit its headquarters in Scotland later this week.
Rod Stewart, who has long been a vocal supporter of various charitable endeavors, expressed his enthusiasm for this new venture. “We are so pleased to be coming on board as ambassadors for The King’s Foundation and look forward to lending our support to this worthwhile cause, particularly during such a significant year for the charity,” Stewart shared. The rocker has been an advocate for the foundation for years and attended its inaugural awards ceremony at St James’s Palace in June, alongside King Charles. This further solidifies his commitment to the charity’s initiatives and vision.
Penny Lancaster, a model and volunteer special constable, added her thoughts on the opportunity, emphasizing her passion for community-building efforts. “As a volunteer special constable, the Foundation’s approach to building communities – and how access to green spaces can help build better, healthier places – is particularly important to me,” Lancaster remarked. She continued, “It’s an honour to be working with the Foundation, and I can’t wait to meet more of the inspiring people who both learn with and work for the organisation.” The couple’s involvement in the Foundation highlights their shared dedication to societal betterment and their individual roles in supporting health and wellness initiatives.
One of the key events the couple will participate in is a visit to Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Scotland. Here, they will meet with staff at the Health and Wellbeing Centre, located on the Dumfries estate, to learn more about the charity’s perimenopause programs. Additionally, Lancaster, as a patron of Menopause Mandate, will focus on supporting the local community groups that are part of the Foundation’s outreach efforts, particularly those addressing women’s health concerns.
The King’s Foundation, which was formerly known as The Prince’s Foundation, has recently undergone a restructuring following an amalgamation of several charitable initiatives led by King Charles. The new name reflects the organization’s ongoing mission to empower individuals and communities through education, environmental sustainability, and health initiatives, all aligned with the King’s values and priorities.
The announcement of Stewart and Lancaster’s ambassadorship comes amidst a period of celebration for the couple. Rod Stewart recently celebrated his 80th birthday with a luxurious family gathering aboard a three-tiered super yacht in St Barts. The celebrations included his sons Alastair, 19, and Aiden Patrick, 13, as well as his daughter, Kimberly Stewart, 45. The family’s yacht trip, which spanned ten days, featured three chefs to ensure every need was met during the journey. Stewart’s message to his fans on his birthday was heartfelt: “May I take this opportunity on this my 80th birthday to personally express my gratitude and thanks to all my loyal and rowdy fans all over the world for helping give me such a wonderful life. In return, I hope I’ve given you some memorable songs and lively concerts and…I’ve not finished yet.”
Penny Lancaster also shared a touching tribute to her husband on social media, posting a photo of him enjoying the family’s cruise. “Happy birthday my darling. So blessed to be sharing this day with all our kids. Building more memories to carry to our hearts forever. I love you,” she wrote. The family celebration also followed a luxurious first-class flight to Florida, with Stewart ensuring that the trip would be at no cost to anyone, showcasing his generosity and devotion to his family.
Rod Stewart’s birthday celebrations were not just a family affair, as he also made time to enjoy his beloved football team, Celtic. Photographed watching the game on his laptop aboard the yacht, Stewart’s passion for his football team is as unwavering as ever, proving that even a lavish cruise can’t get in the way of his favorite pastime.
As Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster embark on this new chapter as ambassadors for The King’s Foundation, their commitment to philanthropy and community-building is sure to inspire many, further cementing their place as prominent figures in both the entertainment world and charitable endeavors.
