Sir Rod Stewart has sparked headlines after making a colourful and controversial remark about King Charles III during a high-profile royal charity event in London, praising the monarch's recent state visit to the United States while joking that he 'put that little rat bag in his place.'

The comments were made during The King's Trust 50th anniversary celebration at the Royal Albert Hall, where the 81-year-old music legend joined a host of celebrities in honouring the King's long-standing youth charity work. The event, attended by figures including entertainers and actors, quickly became a talking point after Stewart's spontaneous praise for the monarch's diplomatic performance abroad.
