Oscar-winner Gwyneth Paltrow and British actor Joseph Fiennes will re-create the famous “Romeo and Juliet” balcony scene for Prince Charles at a charity show, organizers said Thursday. The co-stars of the 1998 film “Shakespeare in Love” will play the star-crossed lovers for the heir to the throne.

Among other actors performing selected Shakespeare scenes at the replica of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London on Monday will be Paul Scofield, Diana Rigg and Jane Lapotaire. Money raised will go to the Prince’s Trust, a charity set up by Prince Charles to help disadvantaged young people.
