The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu Il will be received at a private audience with King Charles III, tomorrow May 4, at Buckingham Palace. The visit of the Asante King is occasioned by the Coronation event of King Charles who ascended the British throne, following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II last year.
In Asante tradition, whenever His Majesty the King is physically absent from his Kingdom, the Bantamahene takes up responsibility for Kumasi whereas the Mamponghene steps in his shoes as traditional head of entire Asanteman.
