The legendary songstress received the prestigious annual award for her lifetime achievements and outstanding contributions to musical excellence, making this undoubtedly one of the crowning career achievements. The event attracted quite an impressive lineup of people. It not only served to highlight Lewis’s achievements and growing stature, but marked royal engagements and personal milestones from other industry personalities.
The concert kicked off with dramatic grandeur as Lewis approached the castle dressed majestically in a form-fitting white gown that perfectly displayed her poise. She finished off her look with an elegant white Furla bag. Her chic open-toe high heels with crisscross straps from Boss worked to kick up the glam even further. Accompanying her was fellow musician Myleene Klass, who opted for a white ensemble, showcasing a tailored suit that mirrored the occasion’s formality.
The ceremony at Windsor Castle honored Lewis’ musical legacy. As much as it was a celebration, it was also a display of royal traditions and royal engagements. Meanwhile, in other royal family fun and games, Kate Middleton delighted young Jannik after handing him one of the Safari Awards trophies. He had just won a major tennis tournament to boot! At the end of the Masterclass, Princess Charlotte and Prince George happily ran up to Jannik. They requested that he sign their tennis balls, producing an iconic image of youthful princely charm.
