Ten Malawi Soldiers In King Charles Common wealth Coronation Parade

Ten members of the Malawi Defence Force are expected to form part of the Commonwealth Parade during the Coronation of King Charles and his wife, The Queen Consort Camilla.

British High Commissioner to Malawi, Fiona Ritchie, has confirmed to Times360Malawi, adding that it is a proud moment to have Malawi represented at the Coronation.

“I am delighted that His Excellency the President Dr Lazarus Chakwera and the First Lady will attend the Coronation of His Majesty, and that a team of Malawi Defence Force troops will join their colleagues from all Commonwealth member states at the historic global event. The UK and Malawi have enjoyed a long-standing defence partnership and the MDF troops’ participation in the coronation of the UK’s new Commander-in-Chief is a huge honour,” Ritchie said.

Leader of the Malawi Troops at the Coronation, Major Thokozani Moffat, haa said he is happy to represent Malawi at the Coronation in London with his colleagues.

“I am very happy to be able to represent Malawi and MDF at the Coronation in London. It will be incredible, not only for me but my comrades from Malawi and beyond to parade in the streets of London on the day when His Majesty takes his Coronation oath. It’s certainly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Moffat said.

On May 6, the world will witness the historic event when King Charles takes the coronation oath, undertaking to diligently serve in his constitutional position as Head of State of the UK, the 14 Realms, the UK Overseas Territories, and the Crown Dependencies, and as Head of the Commonwealth—a voluntary association of 56 independent sister nations.
