King Charles lands in Samoa to ceremonial welcome ahead of Commonwealth summit

King Charles and Queen Camilla landed in Samoa to a full ceremonial welcome ahead of the Commonwealth summit.

The monarch touched down in Samoa on Wednesday evening (22 October), to be greeted on the red carpet by a Guard of Honour.

The royal couple waved as they stepped out of their plane at Faleolo International Airport.

Prime Minister Afioga Fiamē Naomi Mataʻafa and Foreign Secretary David Lammy greeted them at the steps before they were introduced to a number of dignitaries.

The King was invited to inspect the Guard of Honour, which was composed of Samoan police officers as the country has no armed forces.
