Commonwealth leaders welcome His Majesty King Charles III as Head of the Commonwealth

2023

In 2023, leaders of the Commonwealth’s 56 member countries met in Marlborough House in London with His Majesty King Charles III to welcome him as the new Head of the Commonwealth ahead of the Coronation.

Commonwealth leaders reaffirmed their commitment to unity and discussed areas of mutual interest including the empowerment of the Commonwealth’s 1.5 billion young people. 

The Commonwealth is a beacon within the international system. A place where people come together. Where we work together. Where no voice is louder or more important than any other. And where no one is left behind.
