The last time the UK celebrated a KBP was in 1951. His Majesty King Charles III was born in 1948 and became heir apparent on the accession of Queen Elizabeth II in 1952. In addition to his official and ceremonial duties in the UK and overseas, His Majesty has championed a wide range of causes relating to the environment and sustainable development, the arts, healthcare and education for decades.
Today’s celebrations will feature food and drink from the 4 UK nations, performances by British popstar RIKA (Chandrika Darbari) and New Delhi based femme collective Coven Code. Exhibitors at the event include the British Asian Trust, which supports sustainable solutions across the subcontinent and was founded by His Majesty in 2007. A wide range of dignitaries from the Government of India, representatives from Commonwealth nations, business leaders, and eminent personalities from the fields of diplomacy, arts, education, research, business, and sports are also expected to attend.
