Queen Consort when Prince Charles becomes king. “…when, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me; and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service,” she said.
In a statement shared over the weekend, Prince Charles noted that he and his wife were “deeply conscious” of the honour represented by his mother’s wish. “As we have sought together to serve and support Her Majesty and the people of our communities, my darling wife has been my own steadfast support throughout,” he added.
The British Asian Trust is a charity founded by His Royal Highness to combat poverty and hardship in South Asia. The event at the British Museum was also attended by several high-profile individuals, including the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, British Home Secretary Priti Patel, film director Gurinder Chadha and DJ Naughty Boy.
Commenting on Prince Charles’ role as the founder of the British Asian Trust, executive director of the charity Hitan Mehta told PEOPLE that the Prince of Wales wants to “understand people and bring people together. He is very good at being able to cut through any divide. He knows that faith groups can help bridge differences.” “He has a deep sense of spirituality,” Mehta added.
