Palace sources revealed that King Charles has devoted significant efforts to promoting interfaith dialogue and understanding throughout his tenure.
During a reception for faith leaders at Buckingham Palace following his Accession, King Charles reaffirmed his commitment to supporting all faiths, underscoring the significance of preserving the diverse fabric of the nation.
Quoting the King, the statement read, "I have always thought of Britain as a 'community of communities.' That has led me to understand that the Sovereign has an additional duty – less formally recognized but to be no less diligently discharged."
"It is the duty to protect the diversity of our country, including by protecting the space for Faith itself and its practise through the religions, cultures, traditions and beliefs to which our hearts and minds direct us as individuals."
Despite his current recovery from surgery, King Charles continues to prioritize initiatives aimed at promoting harmony and understanding among different religious communities.
