King Charles III has told Prime Minister Philip "Brave" Davis that he hopes to visit The Bahamas next year.
The suggestion came during a telephone call to the prime minister, and the visit may possibly be around the time of the Independence celebrations.
A statement from the Office of the Prime Minister said: "After offering wishes for a Happy and Blessed Easter, The King offered profuse apologies for not being able to attend the 50th Anniversary Independence Celebrations. He asked that his regrets and good wishes be extended to the Government of The Bahamas and the Bahamian people."
Mr Davis wished good health to King Charles, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment which has limited his participation in public engagements. On Thursday, he skipped the traditional Royal Maundy Service at Worcester Cathedral, though he provided a recorded message and was represented by his wife, Queen Camilla.
Mr Davis also sent his wishes for good health to Kate, the Princess of Wales, who is also undergoing treatment for cancer.
The statement from OPM said that the two also discussed briefly areas of mutual concern such as education, climate finance and broader issues affecting the Caribbean and Small Island Developing States.

The Caymans have no choice but to remain under British rule. When Hubert Ingraham rushed to dismantle this country’s lucrative offshore banking system, the Brits took measures to shore up Cayman’s offshore banking system and ensure it was amongst the few ‘untouchable things in the Caribbean. Caymans hold all the UK’s wealth amounting to probably trillions of dollars. You see, when countries like The Bahamas and Barbados and Jamaica started to request their independence from Britain, many expected or feared that the British economy may collapse. So to avoid the panic, the British set up offshore banking in the Caymans. The US and other countries that ‘compelled’ Ingraham to shut down the offshore banking industry here, still have offshore banks for various reasons and purposes. And when have you ever heard of the Caymans being blacklisted

The same bogus reason they blacklist The Bahamas for. They dare not play around with the British pound sterling or the UD green back

I am wondering why on earth he wants to come here? Another large chunk of our tax dollars to be spent making him 'comfy' while he's here.

Why do we care about an irrelevant inbred rich guy with a pedophile brother's travel plans?

Ill health is something I dont wish on anyone. Even criminals. It's something about seeing a human being in pain and it's also knowing but for a little grace...

That is public information for those who want to research. And that is how the Royal Fsmily maintain their multi billion status. Investments all over the world. Now do some research and find out how many of the 26 children really belong to the king and who some of the baby mamies ( mamas is American) are

At any time during his chat on the blower with King Charles, --- Did the colony's premiership, --- Ask the monarch for a British warship? --- And, is it the premiership's intent to become a member of Haiti's Transitional Council?** --- From the sounds coming out of the Street Corner and Alleyway --- Talk has members of the colony's defence force are either done in Haiti or by this time next week gonna' be up and patrolling on Haitian soil. --- Good Day!

Any transitional activity on Haiti that involves France, Canada and the US, at least unharnessed, will only be a dud and heap more hardship on the Haitian people. These three countries are benefiting too much from the turmoil in Haiti or using every effort to avoid accountability for the atrocities they did to this country.

I hope he asked to drive on more of the roads, at least they will receive a superficial layer of black top then and some potholes will be fixed.
You think Brave is going to offer him up his new BMW to drive around in?

Maybe if The Bahamas had stayed closer to The British after Independence, rather than playing so close to the US, the country may have been better off, at least socially. When The Bahamas gave up most of its reserved Bahamian Culture for what is known as Black American Culture, the social fabric of this country eroded overnight. Most of Black American Culture was not really culture but a mechanism designed to promote drugs, violence, alcohol abuse, , infidelity, illegitimate and fatherless children and jailbirds. And this country, like Black Americans embraced activities and lifestyles that were designed to destroy them,
