(PICTURES) Akufo-Addo And Wife Attend Coronation Of King Charles III1 min read
President Akufo-Addo and his wife, Rebecca Akufo-Addo were spotted at the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey in London.
President Akufo-Addo wore a dapper suit with the First Lady in a colourful kente.
Charles III was crowned king on Saturday at Westminster Abbey in Britain’s biggest ceremonial event for seven decades, a sumptuous display of pageantry dating back 1,000 years.
Charles succeeded his mother Queen Elizabeth when she died last September and at 74, he has become the oldest British monarch to have the 360-year-old St Edward’s Crown placed on his head at London’s Westminster Abbey.
Watched by about 100 heads of states and dignitaries, Charles follows 40 predecessors in being crowned at the abbey – which has staged all the coronations since William the Conqueror back in 1066.
His second wife Camilla, 75, will also be crowned queen during the two-hour ceremony which, while rooted in history, will attempt to present a forward-looking monarchy and nation.
