Charles III went on to say: "I am assured that this is a manifestation of President Mandela's special affection for the Queen... And not a comment on the habits that the British climate brings to the British! ”
He also referred to the region's history of colonialism: "While some elements of this history have caused deep suffering, we must seek to understand them, and as I told Commonwealth leaders earlier this year, if we are to unleash the power of our common future, we must acknowledge the mistakes that have shaped our history." ”
