Charlotte Tilbury Appointed Global Ambassador of The King’s Trust Global Gala

The King’s Trust has appointed Charlotte Tilbury MBE as a global ambassador.

Officials say the appointment marks a significant expansion of the beauty entrepreneur’s long‑standing relationship with the charity and reinforcing its global mission to empower young people to learn, earn and thrive.

As global ambassador, she will help amplify the Trust’s work on an international stage, advocating for greater access to the skills, confidence and opportunities young people need to thrive. Her appointment comes at a milestone moment as The King’s Trust celebrates 50 years of empowering young people around the world.

“I have had the immense privilege of working with the King’s Trust for the past five years as ambassador for enterprise – supporting His Majesty the King’s mission to champion young people in the UK and give them the tools, belief and opportunity to transform their lives and their communities,” said Tilbury. “At the heart of this is His Majesty the King a visionary ahead of his time. Fifty years ago, he used his navy severance pay to found the incredible King’s Trust. His vision has gone on to transform millions of lives around the world, creating opportunity and hope for those who thought there was none. To date, the trust has supported over 1.5 million people, and as an entrepreneur myself, I’m honored to be part of a program that has helped over 92,000 young people start their own businesses.

She continued, “It’s an honor to build on my role by becoming a global ambassador and Co‑Chair of the Global Gala at such a pivotal moment in the Trust’s history. Through my new role, I will support the Trust in championing talent and nurturing entrepreneurship on a global scale – promoting the invaluable work of the King’s Trust around the world. Together, we want to show young people that their futures are worth investing in!”

Tilbury will also serve as co‑chair of the King’s Trust Global Gala, a landmark fundraising event celebrating the Trust’s 50th anniversary being held on 29th April in New York. The gala will bring together influential global supporters, creatives and changemakers to celebrate the Trust’s impact and support its continued work around the world.

Founded by His Majesty King Charles III, The King’s Trust has helped 1.5 million young people globally to build brighter, more sustainable futures. The Global Gala marks a significant moment for the organization as it continues to expand its international reach and influence.

“Charlotte has been an inspirational supporter of The King’s Trust for many years, particularly through her role as Ambassador for Enterprise in the UK,” said Alison Brittain, chair of The King’s Trust Group. “Her entrepreneurial spirit, global influence and unwavering belief in young people make her a powerful advocate for our work.”
