Mumbai:The iconic Dabbawalas (tiffin providers) in Mumbai have sent a special gift for the royal baby born to Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, carrying on the tradition of celebrating every major event in the royal family.

Dabbawallas have sent their blessings with a special set of silver jewellery all the way to the United Kingdom.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, were recently blessed with a baby boy, who they named Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.

"Prince Charles is our friend and has become a grandfather, so we've become grandfathers too. In Marathi culture, we present gifts to our grandchild," Subhash Talekar, the president of Mumbai Dabbawala Association, said.

Courtesy to their friendship with Prince Harry's father over the years, the Dabbawalas have celebrated almost every major event that has taken place in the family.

Last year, on the occasion of Harry and Meghan's wedding, Mumbai Dabbawalas gifted a set of Maharashtrian wedding attire to the couple.

They even celebrated the royal wedding, which took place on May 19, by distributing sweets to patients of a government hospital in Mumbai.

The Dabbawalas' relationship with the British royal family dates back to 2003, when Prince Charles visited Mumbai. Since then, a special friendship was forged.
