Benedict Cumberbatch and wife Sophie Hunter have been everywhere lately- and after the couple's recent honeymoon, they attended a gala for the Motor Neurone Disease Association, mindling with some of the most famous faces out there, including Stephen Hawking and Princess Anne!
Benedict and Sophie met Princess Anne in the white drawing room at Buckingham Palace, and seemed absolutely thrilled to meet such an esteemed member of English royalty. Benedict was wearing a very stylish blue suit (made entirely of velvet!) while Sophie showed off her baby bump with a dress in a matching blue color (although with a beautiful-looking design on it, as well).
Also present at the same event were Michael Ball, Victoria Wood, the presenters from Good Morning Britain, and even the world-renowned Professor Stephen Hawking! Benedict seemed especially excited to meet Hawking, and posed with him for a photo (although in the photo above, he and his wife Sophie can be seen with Princess Anne).
Ironically enough, Benedict just lost an Oscar to another actor, Eddie Redmayne, for portraying Stephen Hawking in the film The Theory of Everything. One has to thing that was a topic of conversation between the two.
Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter got married just this Valentine's Day, and have spent most of the last month on a massive honeymoon. Their honeymoon was so long, in fact, that the happy couple only returned to London the weekend before this event for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. They're also pregnant, and Sophie is expected to deliver their child later on this summer. It's not yet clear what the gender or the name of their baby is, but presumably Benedict and Sophie have a few ideas already for what to name him. Or her. Either way.
