By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): Belize’s head of state is celebrating a birthday today.
King Charles III turns 78.
The British High Commission in Belmopan marked the occasion with a message inviting Belizeans to join in wishing His Majesty a very happy birthday.
Born on November 14, 1948, Charles became King in September 2022 following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. With the crown came another title many forget: King of Belize.
Belize has been independent since 1981 but remains a constitutional monarchy. The King is the country’s head of state and is represented here by the Governor General.
Just two weeks ago, the King was in the Caribbean for Antigua and Barbuda’s independence celebrations, where he was famously caught in a downpour, asking aides for an umbrella before carrying on to inspect the Guard of Honour in the rain.
Today, hopefully, the weather is kinder.
Happy birthday, Your Majesty.
