Chakwera says the British monarch was also the Queen of Malawi between 1964 and 1966 as Malawi was transitioning into a Republic.

“My wife and I have fond memories of the Queen’s visit in July 1979, during which she captivated the imagination of Malawians and demonstrated the same solidarity with our quest for socio-economic liberation as she had done with our political Independence,” says Chakwera.

Chakwera says her imitable legacy as a friend of Malawi will forever be etched on Malawians’ hearts.

The new monarch, Prince Charles, the first born of the Queen will be called King Charles III.
