James Bond stars Daniel Craig and Dame Judi Dench have joined the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall in recording a much-loved festive poem in aid of charity.
Charles and Camilla have been filmed narrating ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas with a host of performers to raise awareness about the Actors’ Benevolent Fund (ABF) which has received more requests for help this year than ever before.
The heir to the throne read the famous opening lines of Clement Clarke Moore’s poem: “‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.”
Charles is the ABF’s patron and came up with the idea of gathering a group of actors for the reading after being approached by the charity to help following Covid-19’s major impact on the acting profession.
Coronavirus restrictions have left theatres and cinemas empty this Christmas after a year when many actors have seen work projects cancelled or postponed.
The prince and his wife recorded the poem at their London home Clarence House, and were joined by some of the actors including Lumley, Hardy and Gatwa who read their lines under Covid-19 regulations over the past few weeks.
