King Charles III welcomes Prime Minister of St Vincent at Balmoral
King Charles III held an audience yesterday with Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines, Dr Ralph Gonsalves.
It took place in the Library at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
According to a Dailymail report, the monarch was pictured smiling and shaking hands with Prime Minister Gonsalves and greeted his wife, Eloise.
The news report noted that the visit comes after Prime Minister Gonsalves earlier this year in July suggested a single-item referendum, asking the people of St Vincent and the Grenadines to decide whether or not to replace the monarch with a non-executive, home-grown president as head of state.
He also told the Parliament he would only pursue the referendum if there were bipartisan support.
No further mention has been made of this proposal.
Prime Minister Gonsalves is a familiar face for the monarch as the Caribbean leader, and the King has had warm exchanges in the past.
