As #CHOGM2026 begins in Antigua and Barbuda, I was grateful to join Their Majesties, Governor General Sir Rodney Williams, @gastonbrowne and our Commonwealth family in prayer and reflection, and to lead the reading of the Commonwealth Affirmation. Our Commonwealth values call upon us to see and hear one another, and to work together in common purpose for peace and prosperity. May that spirit guide us through the days ahead and help make this a successful CHOGM. @RoyalFamily
