King Charles and Queen Camilla were all smiles on Tuesday evening as they attended The Elephant Family Evening of Art and Conservation at Kew Gardens.

The royal couple were joined at the event by Sarah Ferguson's daughter, Princess Beatrice, in addition to numerous famous faces, including Ed Westwick and his wife Amy Jackson, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and former footballer, Ronaldo Nazario.

It was nonetheless also a family affair, with Camilla's rarely-seen sister, Annabel Elliot, making an appearance at the star-studded event. Her Majesty's younger sister was pictured in photos with the royals, looking happy and relaxed, dressed in a long white coat, which she paired with a matching white dress peppered with gold motifs.

Ramping up the glitz, King Charles's wife also wore a pair of bronze-hued wedges and carried a pewter clutch. She wore her cropped tresses in bouffant waves, and accessorised with a pair of statement gold earrings.

Established by Queen Camilla's brother Mark Shand in 2002, The Elephant Family works in partnership with conservation experts on the ground to tackle the challenges facing Asia's wildlife and the communities that live alongside it.

Since then, the charity has helped to deliver pioneering projects to protect wildlife, restore habitats and promote coexistence between people and animals.

During the event, Charles and Camilla were greeted by the Lord-Lieutenant and Kew Gardens' Director, Richard Deverell, and the Chair of the British Asian Trust, Lord Gadhia, before they joined a short private reception.
