Weeks after he visited a gurdwara, Britain's King Charles III and Camilla, the queen consort, visited Brick Lane, the heart of England's Bangladeshi community in London, on Wednesday.

Charles and Camilla meet residents and representatives of local charities and businesses as well as those who were actively involved in the anti-racism movement of the 1960s and 1970s.

Charles was offered a box of Samosas and Jalebis during his visit, and promised he would taste them after returning to the palace.
