LONDON, CMC – King Charles III welcomed to Buckingham Palace today the High Commissioner of Jamaica to the United Kingdom.

The 75-year-old monarch, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, met Alexander Williams, who was joined by his wife Carol Watson-Williams.

The meeting was held even as Jamaica's Prime Minister Andrew Holness continues with plans to remove Charles as Head of State.

In February, the Jamaican government announced that it had started the first step in the legislative process of constitutional reform, with the preparation of the Constitution of Jamaica (Amendment of Section 61) Bill.

Meanwhile, the King has postponed all public-facing engagements while he continues his treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer, but he has been carrying out audiences and desk duties behind palace walls.
