Thursday evening saw Christies host a charity auction event in aid of Crisis, a foundation that helps the homeless in the UK.
Over 100 photographs from the likes of Helmut Newton, Henri Cartier Bresson, Irving Penn, Herb Ritts and of course Jeff Hubbard-the former drug addict turned photographer who took the recent images of Prince William.
HRH was there to greet specially selected guests of Christies which included Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman, model Jade Parfitt, gallery owner Tim Jefferies, stylist and Chanel ambassador Caroline Sieber.
He gave a witty speech and signed the photograph that was to be auctioned which gave way to the proceedings of the evening.
The informal royal portrait by Hubbard went for £22,000 -which by the time I left towards the end of the night was the highest bid of the evening so far- a beautiful Herb Ritts image of Naomi Campbell went for over £8000 and the Ellen Von Unwerth of Kate Moss for £4,500.
