King Charles III and Queen Camilla visited Kolkata-born chef Asma Khan at her Darjeeling Express restaurant in London. The royals joined a pre-Ramadan gathering, helping pack chicken biryani and dates for hospital iftar donations. Asma Khan, known for her celebrated Kolkata biryani, shared that the King humorously remarked, “I may be past my sell-by date,” when offered a packing job. The visit, which highlighted the King’s appreciation for culinary heritage and charitable causes, comes ahead of Ramadan celebrations, emphasizing the spirit of giving during the holy month.
