Wow, that is lovely.

Very glad that he is still involved with the charity after all that time and to see him with Hawking after all the attention Eddie Redmayne got over the last months. I like how Benedict keeps being attached to causes that are important long after filming has been finished. The same goes for his commitment to Alan Turing.

Benedict already is experienced with the royals.
I wonder how Sophie is handling this.

Just kidding. I'm sure both are doing fine.

I saw the pictures this morning on FB, they looked absolutely stunning! (Sophie looks ready to pop!)

I have to agree, it's awesome to see him still sticking to the charity, but of course he would!

I must admit, when I first read the title the picture of Benedict going to Buckingham Palace all naked popped up in my dirty mind... *chuckles*

But of course it's really nice to see him doing all those important charity projects, I love how he's so into those topics.

It is lovely, indeed!
I'll admit to the same kinds of dirty thoughts as yours when I first read "Benedict and Buckingham Palace - but no sheet", James.
Sophie does look ready to pop, she also looks positively radiant - I really hope her pregnancy is going well. But I think she's something like seven months gone (they did announce their engagement in early November, and I assume they wanted to be certain she was pregnant before announcing their engagement) and I dearly hope Little One won't be coming along too soon.
But back to the topic at hand, I think it is great that Ben is involved in that project, and has been for 11 years. What a commitment! I hope there comes a time when such projects will cease to exist, though. In a good way, mind. I really hope the charity is successful.

Clickbait? Well… *shrugs* Worked on me! And so darn lovely, as everyone else said. The couple and the continued cause. Love how stylishly paired they always look, and that the Hawkings and royals were involved, too. Amazed Stephen is 73 already!
