“I am heartily saddened not to have come to Fiji, but it was doctors’ advice,” said King Charles.

“I was pleased to meet the Prime Minister at CHOGM in Samoa. I am still keen to get to Fiji.”

“Please send my regards to His Excellency the President. Fiji is very much in my heart.”

King Charles also expressed his deep gratitude for the more than 2,000 Fijian soldiers currently serving in the British Armed Forces.
