King Charles and the Queen Consort Camilla arrived in the Scottish capital today (Monday October 3) to host a reception at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
The event at the Palace has been organised to celebrate British South Asian communities. The monarch will meet with between 200 and 300 guests of British Indian, Pakistani, Bangladesh, Sri Lankan, Nepalese, Bhutanese and Maldivian heritage from across the UK.
The reception will recognise the contribution many from these communities have made to the National Health Service, arts, media, education, business and the Armed Forces. Charles will also hold an investiture ceremony for a small group of local people, his first as King.
