Charles and Camilla met a group of Muslim women at Darjeeling Express, a restaurant in Kingly Court in Soho, central London, on Wednesday, including professional rugby player Zainab Alema and author Hajera Memon.
“I have an all-female kitchen and I think that for the King to choose to come here before and to be part of the ritual of Ramadan, packing dates, distributing food, this is a very essential part of Ramadan.
He arrived in London in 2015 and opened Imad’s Syrian Kitchen in early 2020, and on Wednesday hosted the King and British Syrians including film-makers, doctors and charity workers.
“I didn’t realise the King would be so fast,” Asma Khan, the owner of Darjeeling Express joked as he and Camilla packed the dates.
The King and Queen have helped pack food donation boxes at an Indian restaurant ahead of Ramadan.
