King Charles III received on Sunday afternoon (18) at Buckingham Palace representatives from several nations in an event that is part of the funeral ceremonial for Queen Elizabeth II, who will be buried on Monday (19). President Jair Bolsonaro and First Lady Michelle were present. Hours earlier, they were also on vigil for the monarch’s body at the Palace of Westminster. Just before the presidential couple entered the palace, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau also entered.
The president told reporters he only greeted the king and expressed his grief at the loss. “There were a lot of people there, they treated us very well. Just condolences,” Bolsonaro said. He also signed, in an earlier stage of ceremonial protocol, a book of condolences on the Queen’s death.
Trudeau, US President Joe Biden, and other leaders also signed the book. Earlier in the morning, Bolsonaro spoke to supporters from the balcony of the Brazilian ambassador’s residence in London, but began his impromptu speech by reminding him that he is in the country out of respect for the royal family and the British people.
