Rod Stewart plays UK prince’s 60th birthday bash
LONDON (AP) — Singer Rod Stewart headlined a star-studded bash for Prince
Charles’ birthday party Saturday in England.
The pop star — known for songs such as “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” and “Maggie
May” — performed at a party given by Charles’ wife, Camilla, at their Highgrove
estate home in southwest England.
It is the third celebration in a week for the prince, who turned 60 on
Friday.
His mother, Queen Elizabeth II, held a dinner party and concert at Buckingham
Palace on Thursday. And on Friday, the prince was honored with a 41-gun salute
in London’s Hyde Park and a celebration with young people sponsored by his
charity.
Comedian Rowan Atkinson, known to most as “Mr. Bean,” was among the first guests to arrive. Others
included actresses Dame Judi Dench and Joanna Lumley, as well as Camilla’s former
husband, Brigadier Andrew Parker Bowles.
Britain’s Press Association reported that Charles’ sons, princes William and
Harry, stayed overnight at Highgrove. It said their girlfriends, Kate Middleton
and Chelsy Davy, also put in an appearance at the party on Saturday.
