Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall attended yesterday's evening British-Asian Trust 10 years anniversary gala hosted at Buckingham Palace.


The Prince of Wales founded the trust 10 years ago to help combat poverty and hardship in South Asia. To date the charity has helped millions of people through education, training and healthcare.

200 guest were in attendance and were entertained by British-Asian artist Shahid Khan, known by his stage name Naughty Boy, together with Bollywood star Kanika Kapoor.

According to Clarence House, HRH announce the charity’s new £7.2 million Development Impact Bond, aimed at providing education to 200,000 Indian children.

The Prince told guests: "The British Asian community has excelled in almost every area of life, whether it be academia, the arts, media, or of course business, and has made a profound and indispensable contribution to the United Kingdom for many decades.

"The diaspora is characterised, perhaps above all, by an extraordinary generosity and deeply held desire to help those who are most vulnerable and in need.

"The passion that my wife and I feel for the work of my British Asian Trust is driven by what we have seen for ourselves during our visits to South Asia when, as most recently in India last November, we have both been so deeply touched by the tremendously positive impact that the Trust is having on the ground."
