The island country of Samoa will remember King Charles III and Queen Camilla for a long time after their four-day state visit. The royal couple’s farewell ceremony was a lively show of Samoan culture, full of heartfelt gestures and traditional practices.
It poured rain as the couple arrived at the ceremony, but the locals were still in a good mood. A wet red carpet with umbrellas lined the way for King Charles III and Queen Camilla to a stage with colorful woven mats and flower wreaths.
During the ceremony, there was a “ava ceremony,” in which the King was given a carefully made mixture in a smooth coconut shell. People in the village got out in the rain to put on shows and dances, including an interesting war dance with burning sticks.
King Charles III thanked Samoa for being so friendly and praised the royal family’s history on the island. There were many emotional moments at the farewell service, and Queen Camilla even wiped away tears.
Reports say that Queen Camilla shed tears when Samoan leaders honored King Charles III and spoke about his ongoing health problems. After that, she laughed so hard that she cried happy tears over the technical problems that the rain caused.

The people of Samoa sent their best wishes to the royal couple as they left. Netizens sent messages of support and worry after Queen Camilla’s emotional farewell. They were kind and sent their best wishes.
