The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall will visit Ghana, The Gambia and Nigeria

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall are set to visit Ghana and two other West African countries in October, the Royal Commonwealth Society Africa has officially announced.

Report say,  nine-day visit which will begin from October 31 to November 8 will see Their Royal Highnesses, Prince Charles and Camilla visit Gambia and Nigeria as well.

“Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall will begin their tour in The Gambia on 31st October. However they will be in Ghana on the 2nd of November before moving to Nigeria on the 6th of November,” the statement said.

Their Royal Highnesses’ visit, which is at the request and on behalf of the British Government, will celebrate the U.K.’s dynamic, forward-looking partnerships with these Commonwealth Nations on a range of shared priorities.

While in Ghana, the second most influential couple in the UK, second only to the Queen of England, will pay courtesy calls on the president Nana Akufo-Addo as well as the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

The Duchess who is President of the Women of the World Festival will also attend an event for a range of Ghanaian women of influence. The Women of the World festival (WOW) is a global festival movement founded by Jude Kelly CBE in London in 2010 celebrating women and girls, and looking at the obstacles that stop them from achieving their potential.

The visits will highlight key themes in these relationships, including the importance of our Commonwealth ties.
