Speaking to a large gathering of 30-plus faith leaders at a reception at Buckingham Palace, Charles emphasised his own strong Christian faith and pledged to protect religious diversity in the United Kingdom. He said the sovereign has ‘a duty to protect the diversity of our country, including by protecting the space for faith itself and its practice through the religions, cultures, traditions and beliefs to which our hearts and minds direct us as individuals. This diversity is not just enshrined in the laws of our country, it is enjoined by my own faith.’
