An Iftar was hosted by Windsor Castle in the United Kingdom for the first time in its 1000-year history.
More than 300 Muslims attended the event.
Who lives in Windsor Castle?
Many people live at Windsor Castle, including the Royal Household staff, soldiers, and the Constable and Governor of Windsor Castle. King Charles III also spends time there.
Over a period of nearly 1,000 years, the castle has been inhabited continuously, and altered and refurbished by successive monarchs. Some were great builders, strengthening the Castle against uprising and rebellion; others, living in more peaceful times, created a palatial Royal residence.
Windsor Castle was often used by the late Queen to host State Visits from overseas monarchs and presidents. For a State Visit at Windsor, foreign Heads of State enter the Castle in horse-drawn carriages through the George IV Gateway into the quadrangle in the Upper Ward, where a military guard of honour is drawn up. The traditional State Banquet is held in St George’s Hall (55.5m long and 9m wide), with a table seating up to 160 guests.
Earlier, King Charles III and Queen Camilla sent wishes on the occasion of Ramadan.
“Wishing all Muslims in the UK, the Commonwealth, and around the world a blessed and peaceful Ramadan”, said the royal family in a post.
