King Charles Invites Political Leaders to Windsor Castle for Dinner
The King hosts discussions with UK political figures, marking a significant royal engagement in political matters.
King Charles III has invited UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and the first ministers from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland to a dinner at Windsor Castle on Wednesday.
According to sources, some of the devolved leaders are expected to stay overnight at the royal residence before having breakfast the following morning.
This engagement marks a continuation of Charles' involvement in political discussions, as he recently participated in a joint visit with Prime Minister Starmer and Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner to a housing development in Cornwall.
The trio visited the Nansledan project, a 540-acre extension to Newquay, on an occasion that followed prior discussions between the King and Sir Keir regarding housing initiatives.
This visit is notable as it precedes Sir Keir's announcement of new measures aimed at fulfilling a pledge to construct 1.5 million homes ahead of the next general election.
Details of the dinner at Windsor Castle, including its agenda or other specific attendees, have not been disclosed, and Buckingham Palace has declined to comment on this engagement.
Downing Street has also been contacted for further information regarding the gathering, but a response has not yet been provided.
