Charles who spoke at the event, as part of his many speaking engagements during his U.S. visit, welcomed guests with a unifying message.
"It's a wonderful opportunity, if I may say so, apart from anything else, that at this reception we can celebrate both my King's Trust and the enduring cultural bond between the people of the United Kingdom and the United States," he said. "Which is of course a relationship rooted in shared creativity, enterprise and value, reminding us that we are truly greater together."
Also at the event was model Karlie Kloss, Stella McCartney, and Charlotte Tilbury.
