The monarch of the United Kingdom and his spouse were officially welcomed on the island of Samoa in the South Pacific Ocean at the coral reef "Ava", where they were adorned with wreaths made of flowers, and they were also offered the beverage "Ava" in a coconut shell.
Prince Charles was seen in a blazer, tailored at the Samoa School of Arts, and preferred casual attire, despite the heat and high humidity. The event organizers strongly recommended all guests to refrain from formal suits and wear appropriate clothing for the island's atmosphere.
Samoa's President Le Afuega Suaalavao II hosted the coral reef "Ava", designated solely for coral. Initially, they planned to hold it outside, but due to heavy rain in the morning, the event was moved indoors.
Upon arriving at the National University of Samoa, Charles and Camilla were met by the President of Samoa and an official delegation from the village of Falelatai.
Coral Camilla donned a blazer with golden brooches shaped like fish, reflecting the culture of the island, and greeted herself warmly. Men, known in the local community as "Tauili Li'a" from the village of Falelatai, began the ceremony, winning in shrimp mollusks to celebrate the arrival of coral and corals, after which a honored council was formed and led to their places on the scene, together with the President of Samoa and his spouse.
Two men in traditional attire performed as officials, greeting the coral and the coral and saying: "The ceremony of the coral 'Ava' and traditional ceremony - this is the highest protocol of respect in the very culture of Samoa as a symbol of recognizing your official visit to Samoa".
They added: "This is a symbol of friendship, of shared heritage, travels, and the collective spirit of Fellowship as one family. Thank you."
