King Charles honours Aga Khan V at Windsor Castle on accession anniversary

King Charles hosted a private dinner at Windsor Castle to mark the first anniversary of Rahim Al-Hussaini’s accession as Aga Khan V.

The palace dropped a photo from the dinner on their official social media as Charles welcomed the spiritual leader of the Ismaili Muslims and his family.

In the photo, Charles could be seen dressed in a Windsor Coat dinner jacket, standing next to the Aga Khan, who wore a black suit with a bow tie.

Charles granted him the title “His Highness,” while UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper signed a Memorandum of Understanding reinforcing over four decades of partnership between the Ismaili Imamat and the UK.

“The King hosted a private dinner for His Highness the Aga Khan at Windsor Castle last night, to mark the first anniversary of His Highness’s Accession,” they captioned the post. 

This comes as Charles finally threw his "disgraced" brother Andrew out of the Royal Lodge in the light of the newly released Epstein files. 

Speaking about the sudden move, a friend told The Sun, "He had planned to cling on at Royal Lodge a little longer, but with the latest batch of Epstein files it was made clear to him that it was time to go.

"Leaving was so humiliating for him that he chose to do it under the cover of darkness. He didn’t want to have a big emotional goodbye, even though Royal Lodge is a place where he had so many family memories.

"Theoretically, he could have stayed until Marsh Farm was ready but the headlines were only getting worse. Also, the fact he’s been seen driving around Windsor laughing and looking like he hasn’t a care in the worldhasn’t gone down well with the Royal Household."
