Dame Edna Everage joins Prince Charles and Camilla in their box at the Royal Variety Performance Dame Edna Everage. SHE'S an aristocrat in name only. But a little technicality like that wasn't going to stop Dame Edna Everage mixing with some very blue-blooded friends. Dame Edna was more than happy to pull up a seat next to Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall during the annual Royal Variety Performance. The couple burst out laughing in delight as Dame Edna joined them in the Royal Box at the London Palladium. They were seen joking with Dame Edna, played by 79-year-old Australian comedian Barry Humphries, who wore his trademark mauve wig and rhinestone glasses. Camilla wore a specially-commissioned midnight blue evening gown by Vivienne Westwood. Her floor-length midnight blue silk gown had scoop-neck detail with textured fabric. She teamed the frock with a matching purple silk shrug, matching silk court shoes in the same shade of blue and accessorised with a statement silver necklace. The couple met legendary West End composer Andrew Lloyd Webber at the London Palladium, as well as singer and The Voice judge Jessie J. Liverpool comic John Bishop hosted the evening which incorporates the best of British music, dance and comedy. Take That frontman Gary Barlow, the cast of the hit West End musical Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Olly Murs, Dame Edna and jazz musician Carol Emerald are on this year's bill. Figure skaters Torvill and Dean will mark the 30th anniversary of their Olympic gold medal by taking part in the show and newly-discovered dance act Attraction won themselves a place on stage after coming first in TV reality show Britain's Got Talent.
