During Ramadan, Ms Khan donates the restaurant’s entire proceeds to charity and sends food packages to hospitals as part of the Zakat al Fitr, a charitable donation of food to the poor and needy before the end of Ramadan.
When King Charles didn’t respond the Queen decided to go off herself and try to find him, box in hand, waving at him and coughing loudly to try and get his attention.
King Charles joked: “I may be past my sell-by date!” as he helped pack food donation boxes at an Indian restaurant in central London ahead of Ramadan.
The Queen went to the kitchen to help staff who were packing up boxes of delicious-smelling biryani which will be sent to Doorstep, a charity which assists families by providing goods and services to make their lives more comfortable as they await a permanent housing solution.
The king was delighted when he was told that some of the curry was being sent to the palace for him to get later and happily got stuck in ladling too.
