The Queen passed away on Thursday, September 8 at the age of 96 after reigning for 70 years. Her final funeral rites will come on Monday September and no fewer than 500 world leaders have been invited to attend the funeral at Buckingham Palace in London.

Briefing journalists in Abuja recently, Laing recalled King Charles’ visit to Nigeria in November 2018 as Prince of Wales when he met a variety of people from the youths to traditional rulers and also received President Muhammadu Buhari in January 2020 when the president visited him in Dumfries House, in Scotland.

“I can absolutely assure you he follows Nigeria closely. Indeed, he reads my telegrams closely and I think he will continue to maintain interest and affection for Nigeria.

“So, as we mourn the departure of an amazing woman, we celebrate her life and we look forward to King Charles III,” Laing said.

Asked why the United Kingdom has special interest in Nigeria, going by the visits of Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles as Prince of Wales, Laing said Nigeria is the biggest and most important country in Africa.

She said “Everything is here. Like everybody else, the Queen, the King and members of the royal family witnessed the role Nigeria plays on the world stage, with very significant figures and very important places.

“So, Nigeria is watched particularly closely and I think with her (Queen) visit here, she was able to travel very widely and she was inspired by the amazing spirit of the people of Nigeria. It has been very helpful to me to have that strong bond,” Laing also said.

She said further that in strengthening relations with Nigeria, King Charles III will be interested in the area of environment such as climate change.

The British envoy added that King Charles is very much interested in the history of the Commonwealth and will bring fresh life into the Commonwealth.
