Britain’s royals and Prime Minister Keir Starmer shared Diwali greetings on Monday, with the High Commission of India in London highlighting a message of inclusiveness and sustainability associated with the annual Festival of Lights.
“Wishing a very happy Diwali to everyone celebrating the Festival of Lights in the UK and around the world,” reads a message from Buckingham Palace, shared across all its social media platforms.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer also took to social media to wish “Hindus, Jains and Sikhs across Britain a joyful and peaceful Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas”. Starmer, who was in Egypt for the Gaza peace summit during the Diwali festivities held at 10 Downing Street in London last week, reflected upon his visit to Mumbai earlier this month in his festive post.
