A Letter King Size!
The Daily Guardian
|April 21, 2025
And finally, when the King's letter came, it was king-size—both in affection and in appreciation!
King Charles III wrote a personal letter to India's iconic social worker Bunker Roy in the last week of March, almost regretting the gap of two years in remaining in touch. This is Charles' first letter to Roy after taking over as the king of the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth realms in 2022.
Responding to Mr. Roy's letter of December 2024, King Charles wrote in his reply of March 23, 2025: "It was great joy to receive your December letter... Your letter reminded me of all the years I have known and admired all your heroic efforts in Rajasthan..."
Now, Bunker Roy, who founded the Barefoot College (also known as the Social Work and Research Centre, Tilonia) in Rajasthan's Ajmer district along with his equally illustrious wife, Aruna Roy, had seemingly almost given up on hearing again from the King who had been very pally with him as Prince Charles!
