Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife Sophie Hunterbatch made their first post-honeymoon appearance last night in London, at Buckingham Palace. They only do royal appearances now, darling. Benedict and Sophie joined Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, for a charity dinner to raise money for the MND Association (MND = motor neurone disease). Benedict is an ambassador for the MND Association and has been for years (that’s why his Ice Bucket Challenge was so over-the-top). Also at the dinner? Stephen Hawking and his ex-wife Jane Hawking. The Princess Royal is the royal patron for the MND Association, just one of her many good works.

Sophie sure loves gowns with pockets, doesn’t she? I don’t have the designer ID on this, but considering she wore so many Erdem gowns throughout the awards season and considering Erdem’s pocket-friendly designs, many believe this is Erdem. Could be. Her bump is pretty big too. Where are we on the birth schedule betting? I don’t know who will give birth first, Sophie or Jessica Biel. Both of them look ready to pop.

As for Bendy… well, he has a brief moment where he’s not rushing around doing ten different projects. I believe the Sherlock special has wrapped principle filming and Benedict’s rehearsals for Hamlet will be starting up soon enough. Then he’s got Doctor Strange. Busy, busy, busy. At this event, Benedict wore blue velvet (sigh) and he kept his arm around Sophie throughout the night.
