Prince Charlestook part in a meeting of the minds with Hollywood and fashion royalty on Wednesday.
Queen Elizabeth’s eldest son was spotted withLeonardo DiCaprioandStella McCartneyat the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Scotland on day three of the COP26 United Nations Climate Change Conference. Prince Charles, 72, and DiCaprio, 46, have both been vocal environmentalists — in fact, the Oscar winner released ajoint statementwith Charles' sonPrince Harrylast month calling for an immediate suspension on oil and gas drilling in Africa’s Okavango River Basin.
This isn’t the first timePrince Charlesand DiCaprio have crossed paths. Back in November 1997, the two met at the London premiere ofTitanic— and the actor even introduced the prince to his mom, Irmelin Indenbirken.

Prince Charles also spent time on Wednesday with McCartney, who designed the halter dress Charles' daughter-in-lawMeghan Marklewore to her wedding reception in May 2018. The daughter ofPaul McCartneyshowed the royal around her sustainability-focused fashion installation at the climate change conference.
“This is the Decisive Decade and if we do not act decisively, we know the consequences,” McCartney, 50, said in a statement. “A football pitch is disappearing from the Amazon every minute and 80% of that area is being used for animal agriculture.”
Earlier in the day,Prince Charleswas shown a McLaren Racing Extreme E car, which races in remote corners of the world and across brutal terrains to raise climate awareness. He also met New Zealand native Emma Gilmour, the first female factory driver in the outfit’s near 60-year history.
On Tuesday,Prince Charlesdelivered a speech at the World Leaders Action on Forest and Land Use event at the conference.
He called the meeting “absolutely vital” as “it is here that we will explore together the scale of the systemic shifts that need to happen really urgently if the world is to succeed in delivering a positive future for nature and people alike, and I mean urgently as so many people and communities are already suffering seriously from the increasingly dire impact of climate change. We also have to act before the hydrological cycle breaks down altogether.”
