All ambassadors noted that they were proud to be supporting the King’s work and wished the trust Happy Birthday and many more years of helping young people build their dreams.

"50 years of The King’s Trust - and what an honour to celebrate it with the incredible ambassadors who stand beside us," the caption read.

"For half a century, The King’s Trust has supported over 1.3 million young people across the UK to build confidence, gain skills and create brighter futures. Today, some of our amazing celebrity supporters are helping us mark this milestone with a message straight from the heart," it continued.
