King Charles Sets Aside Royal Protocol, Adopts Yoruba Language to Welcome President Tinubu
King Charles set aside royal protocol on Wednesday and welcomed President Bola Tinubu and his delegation in Yoruba during a state banquet held at St George’s Hall, Windsor Castle.
Tinubu, accompanied by Oluremi, his wife, and other Nigerian officials, is in the United Kingdom (UK) for a two-day state visit that began Wednesday.
“Ẹ káàbọ̀, şé dáadáa ni,” King Charles said to the 160 guests in Yoruba, which translates to “Welcome, how are you doing?”
Tinubu responded with a hearty laugh, returning the king’s gesture.
