Members of the British royal family have long supported the Royal Variety Show, which benefits the Royal Variety Charity. Funds raised benefit entertainers across the U.K. who need help and assistance as a result of old age, poor health or hard times.
According to the organization, it was King George V’s wish that a member of the royal family would always attend the annual performance “to demonstrate the royal family’s love and support for the entertainment industry and its associated charity.”
