Ratan Tata rejected Britain's Royal Award: Everyone knows about the love for animals of Tata Sons Chairman Ratan Tata, who passed away on 9 October 2024 in Mumbai at the age of 86. It is well known that he had opened the doors of the famous Taj Hotel for the stray dogs outside. There is also a case in which he turned down a royal visit with Prince Charles for the sake of livelihood. Let us know about that matter.
what is the matter
This is from 2018. Apart from Ratan Tata's commercial success, the fragrance of his philanthropic work also reached every corner of the world. The British Royal Family, along with the 'British Asian Trust', decided to honor Ratan Tata for his philanthropic work. He was to be given the Lifetime Achievement Award. He was to receive this honor from the then Prince Charles of Britain (now King Charles III). Ratan Tata agreed to attend the function to be held on 6 February, but later when the day of the function came, he said no.
This is why you should say no at the last minute
Who would refuse such a great honor and that too at the hands of a British prince? But Ratan Tata said no because of his beloved dog. At the time he had two dogs named 'Tango' and 'Tito', one of whom fell seriously ill. So Ratan Tata refused to attend the British royal honors ceremony to stay with the dog during treatment.
Efforts are being made to convince Ratan Tata
Everyone was shocked to know that Ratan Tata preferred a sick dog over royal honours. Other dignitaries who had arrived in London to attend the ceremony tried to persuade Ratan Tata to attend the event by phone, but he did not change his mind.
Prince Charles's reaction
When Prince Charles came to know the reason for Ratan Tata's absence, he was shocked. Praising Ratan Tata's ideals, Prince Charles had said in a video, 'If you are a man, come. Ratan Tata is an amazing person. It is because of such ideals that his business is so successful and established.
A special hospital was built for animals
Ratan Tata loved not only pets but also stray dogs. Under his guidance, Tata Trust's Small Animal Hospital at Mahalaxmi, Mumbai was also inaugurated in June 2024. His pet dog Tito died a few years ago.
