King Charles III, who assumes new role as the King of the United Kingdom after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, has invited the King of the Ashanti Kingdom in Ghana, His Royal Majesty, Otumfour Osei Tutu II to the funeral of his late mother. The Asantehene is expected to attend with his partner.
The Ashanti Kingdom headed by Otumfour Osei Tutu II has a long history with the British Empire to include many wars, one which was led by the famous Queen of Ejisu, Nana Yaa Asantewaa known as the War of the Golden Stool. This makes the Ashanti Kingdom and its king, Otumfour Osei Tutu II, one of the powerful kings in Ghana.
King Charles III, who until recent times was heir to the throne, together with the people of Britain will be hosting world leaders and other dignitaries to the state funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Monday 19th September, 2022 at Westminister Abbey.
The queen died on Thursday, September 8, 2002 at age 96 setting the record as the longest reigning monarch in British history. She ascended the throne in 1952 and reigned for 70 years, having lost her husband, Prince Philip in April last year.
Below is the invitation of the Asantehene to the global event.
