King Charles III and Sir Sam Jonah
Sir Sam Jonah KBE, has revealed the circumstances under which the British knighthood was conferred on him by Prince Charles (now King Charles III) instead of his late mother Queen Elizabeth II.
In an interview on the BBUM show, a personality profile programme on Ghana Television (September 25), the former Ashanti Goldfields CEO said it was a privilege to have been invited and honoured by the British Royal Family.
Jonah was knighted by Prince Charles in 2003, a ceremony that is ordinarily undertaken by the Queen herself. He explained how an equality important engagement took the Queen away hence the duty was placed on her son.
“I had the privilege to be knighted by Prince Charles in 2003, it was quite an experience, I was fortunate I took my entire family with me, which was very unusual. Because usually, they would ask you to come with your spouse.
“I was fortunate because what happened was, that same day, the reason why I was not knighted by the Queen was that, the Queen was hosting President Putin to a state lunch and therefore it fell on Prince Charles.
“Therefore, Prince Charles said, bring your entire family and so I took my entire family,” he added.
In his view, the new King is a “hugely understated and underappreciated person,” adding that he has a commanding presence, and unenforced authority and he is a delight to be with.
He said he felt hugely privileged and fortunate for one-hour meeting his family had with the new monarch at the Buckingham Palace.
In June 2003, Jonah became the first Ghanaian to be knighted in the 21st century when he was presented with an honorary knighthood (KBE) by the then Prince of Wales, in recognition of his achievements as an African businessman, a leading business executive from the Commonwealth, and an international public figure.

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading properly.

results.
You ought to take part in a contest for one of the most useful websites on the internet. I am going to highly recommend this blog!

Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and

Do you have any recommendations for inexperienced
blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.
My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and
am concerned about switching to another platform. I have
heard excellent things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a coworker who has been conducting a little research on this.
And he in fact bought me breakfast simply because I discovered it for him...

What might you suggest in regards to your post that you made some days in the past?
Any certain?
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My website
has a lot of exclusive content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of
it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you
know any ways to help stop content from being stolen?
I'd certainly appreciate it.
Wonderful website you have here but I was curious about if
you knew of any forums that cover the same topics talked
about here? I'd really like to be a part of online community where I can get responses from other experienced people that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Cheers!
