Joan Collins, 89 shares group snap from ‘fabulous’ Coronation party

Joan Collins shared a group photo from her “fabulous” coronation party over the weekend as she celebrated with a host of famous faces.

The actress, 89, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share the photo as they all enjoyed dinner at the Wolseley with her husband Percy Gibson, 58, and friends.

Joan was joined by Christopher Biggins, former actress Yvonne Romain, entrepreneur Ivan Massow, Theo and Louise Fennell, and journalist Andrew Neil.

They all looked like they were having a good time as they wore crowns to mark the day King Charles III was officially crowned.

Joan looked as elegant as ever in a sparkling white dress she paired with a matching jacket.

She had her dark brown locks styled into an updo and opted for glamorous make-up, complete with a red lip.

Joan wrote in the caption to her post, ‘Our very own fabulous #coronation #celebration at the Wolseley with a host of #greatfriends @biggins.christopher @oneneilsin @ivanmassow @fennelltheo @louise.fennell @hazelcollins8000 @alisonpapworth Andrew Pierce, Russell Tanguay, Evie Bricusse, #brother Bill and @alexsilverpr.’

It comes after Dame Joan performed a brutal impersonation of King Charles last week and teased details of his alleged comments about her ahead of his coronation.

Speaking to Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard on Good Morning Britain, she revealed: ‘I had met him a few times. In fact, he wrote about me in his book – I can’t say what it is on morning TV because it’s a bit naughty.’

She seemed to allude to the claims in Christopher Anderson’s book The King: The Life of Charles III, that the monarch once wrote in a letter that Dame Joan had “unbelievable cleavage… all erect and presented as if on a tray.”

Meanwhile, on the show, Joan also talked about when Charles gave her a Damehood and said how charming he was when she discussed the 2015 ceremony.

The star then mimicked his voice, adding, “He’s got such a deep voice. He said ‘and it was about time.’

The legendary actress, who features in Saturday’s coronation festivities, revealed she has met Charles a few times.

The movie star has been busy with other aspects of her life and spoke to Kate and Ben about writing her memoir which she will release in 2022.

She admitted it had been a really fun project to do as she looks back on her eventful life.

She continued, “I was talking to Biggins the other day and he reminded me of the time we got stuck on an island in Corfu with Stella and no water.”

Ben joked that she could write another memoir with more of her wild stories in it, but she replied, ‘No! It’s in now! I had to change it.’

It comes after Joan gushed about her Damehood the day before she met Charles in 2015.

She said, “Only one more day before my inauguration as Dame! I’m super excited.’
