The King of the Asante Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has made his first visit to the King of England, King Charles III, since his coronation in March last year.
The visit comes as the Asantehene is in the United Kingdom (UK) among other things for a lecture at the British Museum.
His Majesty made a royal visit to King Charles who was earlier this year diagnosed with prostate cancer and underwent surgery, on Tuesday, July 23, 2024.
The visit occurred at King Charles’ Sandringham residence, a house on a 20,000-acre estate in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Some pictures shared by the Royal Family on Facebook showed the Kings exchanging handshakes and sharing some smiles.
