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 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."
"There is still so much we can do together to make a difference in South Asia, a region which remains close to my and my wife's heart."— Clarence House (@ClarenceHouse) February 7, 2018
