Windsor Ramadan dinner and LGBT art event part of King’s diversity drive
A Ramadan meal and an LGBT+ history month lecture at Windsor Castle this year have been hailed as exemplifying the King’s “momentous” commitment to diversity.
The Royal Collection Trust – which oversees the upkeep of the royal palaces – said in its annual report, released on Tuesday, that “inclusion and diversity was a key priority this year” as it hosted a series of religious and LGBT+ celebrations.
For the first time in its 1,000-year history, Windsor Castle hosted an Open Iftar meal in its state apartments to mark the breaking of fast for Muslims during Ramadan. Last autumn, it hosted an inaugural Diwali Family Day including prayers from the head priest of the Slough Hindu Temple.
