The Royal Family have received backlash following Buckingham Palace's message in celebration of Eid amid a silence on other religious occasions.
Taking to social media the Royal Family highlighted the major Islamic festival, which follows the holy month of Ramadan.
The holy month of Ramadan began on February 25, with Muslims fasting between dawn and sunset throughout March.
The message follows King Charles hosting the first-ever Iftar meal at Buckingham Palace to celebrate the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, where more than 360 Muslim guests gathered in St George's Hall to break their Ramadan fast on March 2.

The post has nearly 4,000 comments with some fans praising the Palace's approach to interfaith dialogue.
A fan wrote: "Thanks A Lot Royal Family! Eid Mubarak to you all."
Other users took to the comments to criticise the message amid a lack of recognition to Ash Wednesday and Lent.
One person wrote: "The King of England has spent an incredible amount of time and talent acknowledging and celebrating Ramadan. Yet, Charles is the head of the Church of England. A Christian Church, which he flatly ignored on Ash Wednesday and Lent."

Enthusiasts noted that the occasion clashed with Mothering Sunday, a major date in the Christian calendar.
A X user wrote: "Happy Mother’s Day!"
Another added: "No mention of Lent, Easter or Mothers Day."
