King Charles and Queen Camilla arrive at a lavish Commonwealth dinner | Royal | News
King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived for tonight’s Commonwealth Heads of Government Dinner (CHOGM) at Robert Louis Stevenson’s stunning villa in Samoa.
Charles, 75, wore a Red Sea dress with Samoan detailing by the Samoan School of Fine Arts, while Camilla, 77, wore a blue embroidered tunic top and blue palazzo pants by Anna Valentine with diamond earrings.
It marks their last night in Samoa after arriving on Wednesday night, and they are hosting the official dinner and reception to mark the King’s first CHOGM since becoming head of the Commonwealth.
On arrival at the villa – which is now a museum dedicated to the late Scottish novelist, the King and Queen were received by the Master of the Household, Vice-Admiral Sir Tony Johnston-Burt.
They then continued on the veranda of the museum before greeting the Prime Minister of Samoa and the Commonwealth Secretary General, Baroness Scotland.
They remained on the veranda to receive the heads of government and their spouses before moving inside for a pre-dinner reception.
Two toasts will be proposed by the President of Guyana and the President of Sierra Leone. The king will then make some remarks before dinner is served.
