“Her Royal Majesty demonstrated a deep devotion to preserving the traditions and unity of the Ashanti throughout her life, and served as an exemplar of wise, fair, and gracious judgment and counsel,” the message read.

“With her many years of guidance, leadership, and tireless service to charitable causes, which touched the lives of so many mothers and children, Her Royal Majesty leaves a lasting legacy for your kingdom,” he stated.
He added that her passing “is an immense loss which I know will be keenly felt in the Ashanti community around the world.”
The statement concluded with King Charles extending his family’s prayers and solidarity to Otumfuo in this period of mourning.
“My special thoughts and prayers are with Your Majesty and your family at this very sad time, and my wife joins me in sending our most heartfelt condolences to all those who share in your mourning,” the British monarch expressed.
