Some guys really do have all the luck, as Sir Rod Stewart proved while sharing a joke with King Charles on Wednesday. The veteran rocker was accompanied by wife Penny Lancaster as Charles launched the 35th anniversary of his King's Foundation at Dumfries House in East Ayrshire, the charity's headquarters.

And he revealed a watch most of us can only dream of while guests added items to a time capsule, created to honour the milestone. Sir Rod - who celebrated his 80th birthday on January 10 - arrived with the diamond encrusted timepiece on his wrist before jokingly pretending to throw it the empty box.

The pair later joked over secateurs as the Monarch placed a pair of his own in a time capsule to mark the launch of the 35th anniversary celebrations. The King's Foundation was founded as the Prince of Wales's Institute of Architecture by Charles in 1990 when he was Prince of Wales, and works to build sustainable communities and transform lives.

Sir Rod - who celebrated his 80th birthday on January 10 - arrived with the diamond encrusted timepiece on his wrist before jokingly pretending to throw it the empty box. Along with gardener Alan Titchmarsh, another ambassador for the charity, Charles, Sir Rod and Lancaster seemed to enjoy looking at the initial items placed in the time capsule, including marmalade, a local newspaper, flowers from the Dumfries House garden and photos.
