This announcement comes only days after Asantehene received an invitation from the new British monarch, King Charles III, to attend the burial of his mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ghana High Commission in the United Kingdom sent Otumfuo an invitation. The Queen\u2019s Lying-In-State, the King\u2019s Reception, the State Funeral Services, and the Foreign Secretary\u2019s Reception are all events to which Otumfuo has been invited, together with his wife, Lady Julia Osei Tutu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although he was invited, the Asantehene cannot attend the burial. This is what Manhyia said in a message that was widely disseminated online: \u201cUnfortunately, His Royal Majesty Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II cannot go to London to participate in the State Funeral for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a letter dated September 15, 2022 with the subject RE: 211\/2022 and seen by Opemsuo 104.7 FM, His Majesty Otumfuo Asantehene would not be present at the celebrations commemorating the State Funeral \u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There has been no mention of why the Asantehene cannot attend the burial.

According to the BBC, her burial will follow a state funeral on Monday, September 19, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>News organization CNN reports that numerous foreign leaders have been invited to attend Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s royal funeral.Asantehene will not attend Queen Elizabeth\u2019s funeral despite invite \u2013 Manhyia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up to this point, the funeral attendance of Australia\u2019s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, New Zealand\u2019s Jacinda Ardern, and Canada\u2019s Justin Trudeau has been confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
