British King Charles III and Queen Camilla made a secret visit to India. He went to Bangalore, a city called the Silicon Valley of India. The short stay in Bangalore was of a private nature. This was King Charles’ first visit to India after his accession to the throne.
King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived in Bangalore quietly three days ago. Sources said King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived on October 27 and stayed at the Sukiya International Holistic Health Center on the outskirts of Bangalore for three days. The royal couple came from Samoa where they attended a meeting of Commonwealth Heads of Government.
King Charles and Queen Camilla quietly withdrew on October 30. During these three days, he completely avoided appearing in public. Remember that King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer. They rely on both Western and Eastern therapies and medicines.
Sources said that the royal couple used to practice yoga early in the morning. After breakfast until noon, King Charles went through a healing phase.
In the afternoon, after some rest, there was another session of medicine. This was followed by a meditation session. After dinner, the royal couple went to bed at 9 pm.
It was King Charles’ first visit to this health center after his accession to the throne. By the way, he has come here eleven times during a decade. He has also celebrated Diwali three times here. Charles III also celebrated his 71st birthday in 2019.
Located on the outskirts of Bangalore, this health center is extremely popular among the elite worldwide. Nobel laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Oscar-winning Hollywood actress Emma Thompson, Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson and members of royal families from the Middle East and Europe have visited here.

**Interview with Dr. Anika Rao, an expert on British-Indian relations and cultural exchanges**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Rao. King Charles and Queen Camilla’s recent secret visit to India has raised many eyebrows. What do you think the significance of this trip is, especially since it’s his first visit since becoming king?
**Dr. Anika Rao:** Thank you for having me. I believe this visit is significant for several reasons. Firstly, it emphasizes the ongoing ties between the UK and India, which have deep historical roots. It allows King Charles to engage with modern India, particularly Bangalore, known as the Silicon Valley of India, highlighting his interest in technology and innovation.
**Interviewer:** That’s a great point. There seems to be a focus on Bangalore. What do you think he hoped to achieve during his time there?
**Dr. Anika Rao:** Bangalore is a hub for technology and entrepreneurship. By choosing to visit this city, King Charles can showcase the UK’s interest in fostering partnerships in these sectors. It’s also a chance for the monarchy to present a more contemporary image, aligning with India’s aspirations in tech and sustainable development.
**Interviewer:** The visit was described as private. Why do you think they opted for a discreet approach rather than a public or ceremonial one?
**Dr. Anika Rao:** A private visit allows for more genuine engagement and less security concern, which can sometimes overshadow the purpose of such visits. It gives them the opportunity to connect more authentically with local culture and communities without the pomp and circumstances of a formal royal event.
**Interviewer:** In terms of public perception, how do you think this visit will be received by the Indian public and media?
**Dr. Anika Rao:** I think there will be mixed reactions. On one hand, many will appreciate the royal couple’s interest in India, especially in a city that symbolizes progress. On the other hand, some could view it as an outdated remnant of colonial ties. Ultimately, though, if the trip brings positive attention to British-Indian relations, it could be very well received.
**Interviewer:** What do you see as the future of royal visits like this in the context of evolving Indian-British relations?
**Dr. Anika Rao:** I envision more focused and culturally sensitive visits. As both nations evolve, the monarchy’s role will likely shift towards being a facilitator for dialogue and collaboration rather than merely a ceremonial figure. These visits, like the recent one, will act as platforms for discussing shared interests and values, which is crucial for the future of bilateral relations.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Rao, for sharing your insights. It’s fascinating to see how royal visits continue to impact international relations.
**Dr. Anika Rao:** Thank you for having me! It’s a pleasure to discuss these important topics.
