Former Blue Peter presenter Ms Huq was seen with her husband, screenwriter Charlie Brooker, known for creating the hit Netflix series Black Mirror. Meanwhile Dame Meera, known for Goodness Gracious Me, smiled as she shook Charles' hand alongside her husband and former co-star, Sanjeev Bhaskar.

' The British Asian Trust was established in 2007 by Charles, then Prince of Wales, alongside a group of British Asian business leaders. It has since branched out to operate programmes in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka which focus on mental health, education, livelihoods, child protection and conservation.
