The King will be crowned on Saturday (6) with Queen Consort Camilla. The ceremony will be held at Westminster Abbey in London. The theme for the celebration at the British Embassy was chosen because the environment was one of the monarch’s concerns. He has already been to Brazil four times, and in two of them, he made a trip to the Amazon.
The ambassador pointed out that King Charles III is very close to Brazil and has already spoken to President Lula. Stephanie Al Khaq believes that after the coronation, the relationship between the countries should strengthen. “All embassies can host coronations. We do in Brazil [a comemoração] A little early. “President Lula is going to the coronation and I am going with him,” he said.
Asked how Charles III’s coronation would change relations between Brazil and the United Kingdom, the ambassador highlighted the monarch’s interest in the environment. “We already know a lot about the King, he has traveled to more than 100 countries. He has connections with many countries and will have one foot in tradition and one foot in the future. The King will follow sustainability and biodiversity and these themes,” he said.
“The King has already spoken to the President [Lula]. On the 1st of January I brought a letter from the King to the President. They already have a connection. President Lula is going to talk to the King and I think this relationship will get even stronger,” the ambassador added.

To design the menu for the celebration, the Embassy invited Chef Saulo Jennings of Casa Salo, an expert in Amazonian cuisine. In traditional English dishes such as duck and lamb, he used many elements from the cuisine of the region, such as Dugby.
“The menu is not just food. There is a lot more involved. It has responsibilities and a purpose, which is to see and maintain Amazon as Amazon. Bringing this menu to a coronation of a king should speak. It should have a voice”, he highlighted.
