Living in India: what does the royal family mean to you?

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrive in Mumbai on Sunday 10 April as they begin a weeklong visit to India and neighbouring Bhutan. They follow in the footsteps of the Queen who visited India on three occasions between 1961 and 1997 and Prince Charles who has been there eight times since 1975. Princess Diana also visited India on a royal visit in 1992.

Ahead of the latest royal visit we’d like to hear from people living in India about their country’s current relationship with the UK royal family.

Are you hoping to catch a glimpse of the duke and duchess during their week-long visit? What significance do you think they still have to people living in India? Does your opinion of the royals differ from those of older generations in your family? Share your views with us by filling out the form below.
