King Charles made a joke about legendary singer Lionel Richie's soulful voice during Wednesday's reception at Christie's in Manhattan — and was as disappointed as the attendees when the "Hello" crooner didn't sing.
“I can assure everyone I’m not singing tonight," Richie began his introduction for Charles at the King's Trust reception at the famed British auction house in Rockefeller Center, according to a pool report.
Charles founded the King’s Trust, a charity geared toward empowering young people across academics and the workforce, in 1976.
"I’m really mad that he isn’t singing this evening. I don’t know how he does it — he must gargle with port or something," King Charles joked during his own remarks at the event.

“I want to be part of something special," the youngster said.
His dad said he knew the royal couple was coming to the city, and "was joking with my co-workers, saying I was going to New York and would see the King, and here we are.”
Ed Gardella of Bangor, Maine, was told by his wife to be on the lookout for King Charles and Queen Camilla.
"I hung around for two hours waiting for Prince Charles ... my error. I’m 62, and he has always been the prince to me," he said. "I saw him arrive, and he rolled down his window and waved. I'm surprised he had his hand out the window.”
One New Yorker, however, was not charmed by his royal rendezvous outside the famed auction house.
“I don’t care if King Charles, LeBron James, Muhammad Ali or Abraham Lincoln was here. I want to cross the street in my city where I pay taxes," groused Mikey, who did not give his last name.
