Buckingham Palace has confirmed that His Majesty King Charles III will officially be proclaimed Britain’s new monarch at a meeting of the Accession Council at St James’s Palace on Saturday, 10 September.
The Council meeting has two parts: The proclamation of the new sovereign and the kings’ signing of oath to uphold the security of the Church in Scotland.
A fanfare of trumpeters will be followed by a public proclamation declaring the new king. The public proclamation will be made from a balcony above Friary Court in St James’s Palace, by an official known as the Garter King of Arms.
The Cayman Islands will have its proclamation ceremony in Grand Cayman where dignitaries and the community will gather together to witness Governor Martyn Roper read the Proclamation of the new Sovereign.
The ceremonial event will take place on Sunday, 11 September at 9am outside Government House and is open to the public.
Along with the reading of the Proclamation, the ceremony will include flags at full mast during the ceremony, Uniformed Services on parade and Royal Cayman Islands Police Service 21-gun Royal Salute.
The event will be streamed live on CIGTV and YouTube channels.
Members of the public are asked to assemble by 8:30am. No one will be allowed to cross once the parade grounds have been closed. The official dress code is business formal black. Members of the public are encouraged to wear dark colours as a mark of respect.
The newly crowned King visited the Cayman Islands in 2019 along with the Duchess of Cornwall, now known as Queen Consort. The visit will forever be remembered as a major highlight of the year.

The Spanish Town police have charged two women with illegal possession of firearm and assault at common law, stemming from a recent dispute at Fairfield Road in the St Catherine capital.
Charged with illegal possession of firearm and assault at common law are:
* Shannon Decordova, a 43-year-old nail technician of Coles Gordon, Fairfield Road, Spanish Town, St Catherine.
* Lorrine McDonald, 60 years old, of Fairfield Road, Spanish Town.
Reports from the police are that about 12:30 pm on the day of the incident, Decordova and McDonald had an altercation with the now complainant, during which time Decordova allegedly pushed the complainant to the ground and took away his licensed .38 Smith and Wesson revolver and pointed it at him.
McDonald then reportedly took possession of the weapon, and also allegedly pointed it at the now complainant.
The police were called and Decordova and McDonald were arrested and later charged.
Their court dates are being finalised.

Jamaican Juanita McCurdy-Davis, who serves aboard USS Boxer, homeported in San Diego, joined the US Navy three years ago.
The native of St Catherine, a graduate of Old Harbour High School and the Jamaica Theological Seminary, said she joined the Navy to become a better version of herself.
“…and that’s exactly what has happened,” said McCurdy-Davis. “I’ve become better in so many areas of my life. I’ve gotten an education and I support my family financially,” she is quoted by the Navy Office of Community Outreach as saying.
Today, Petty Officer 3rd Class McCurdy-Davis serves as a culinary specialist.
According to the Navy Office of Community Outreach, a culinary specialist is responsible for catering to the sailors’ nutritional needs and ensuring everyone gets a balanced, freshly prepared meal.
McCurdy-Davis relies upon skills and values from lessons learned in St Catherine to succeed in the military.
“Growing up, I learned to respect everyone regardless of our differences, which is a big part of working on a ship,” said McCurdy-Davis.
USS Boxer, a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, was commissioned on February 11, 1995, and is the sixth US ship to bear the name. The ship recently completed a scheduled maintenance availability and is preparing for upcoming operations.
The crew has approximately 1,200 officers and enlisted personnel and can accommodate up to 1,800 Marines. Amphibious assault ships transfer Marines, equipment and supplies and can support helicopters or other aircraft, according to Navy officials. They also are capable of accessing 75 per cent of the world’s beaches.
Serving in the Navy means the Jamaican is part of a world that is taking on new importance in America’s focus on strengthening alliances, modernising capabilities, increasing capacities, and maintaining military readiness in support of the national defence strategy.
“We protect our country and our allies against threats and secure the maritime sea lanes,” said McCurdy-Davis.
More than 90 per cent of all trade travels by sea, and fibre optic cables on the ocean floor carry 95 per cent of the world’s international phone and Internet traffic.
Navy officials continue to emphasise that the prosperity of the US and its security are directly linked to ready sailors and a strong Navy.
Sailors like McCurdy-Davis have many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during their military service, the Navy Office of Community Outreach said.
“I earned my associate’s degree in December 2020, and was promoted to petty officer third class three months later,” said McCurdy-Davis. “I’ve also earned my surface and aviation warfare pins while working on this ship.”
As McCurdy-Davis, who has hometown ties to Queens, New York, and other sailors continue to train and perform missions, they take pride in serving their country in the United States Navy.
“To me, serving in the Navy means serving my fellow Americans,” added McCurdy-Davis. “It’s a privilege and an honour to do this work.”

President and CEO of Victoria Mutual (VM) Group, Courtney Campbell, says the transformation of Jamaica’s education system is crucial to the country achieving economic growth.
Campbell made the remark on Monday’s opening day of the Jamaica Theological Seminary’s (JTS) Leadership Conference 2022.
He noted that the diffusion of knowledge and information has been at the foundation of all successful national transformations. And, he pointed to examples of successful countries that transformed themselves, including the so-called Asian Tigers – Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines and the dragons – South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Campbell said these countries are rapidly converging toward the standard of advanced nations, while the least advanced African countries such as Central African Republic, Congo, Niger, Gambia and Caribbean nations such as Haiti and Jamaica and some Latin American countries such as Venezuela have stagnated or experienced sluggish growth. He referenced a study that looked at GDP per capita growth for 84 developing countries from 1961-1917.
Campbell said Jamaica must develop a vision for a more inclusive and equitable education system. He quoted Nelson Mandela who said: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
The VM head pointed out that before COVID-19, Jamaica’s economy suffered from low rates of productivity and high income inequality.
He pointed to the Jamaica Productivity Centre which has highlighted that Jamaica has the lowest labour productivity when compared to other Caribbean countries such as Barbados, the Dominican Republic, St. Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago.
“One reason for low productivity is the low availability of some of the skills required to be globally competitive in this era. We have to transform the content of our training,” said Campbell.
He posited that COVID-19 has accelerated technology adoption in all sectors, so these talent-related challenges have become even more pronounced.
“If your company or country cannot claim a ready pool of these digital skills, you will be left behind. The income inequality has been exacerbated by permanent and temporary losses of employment and income,” Campbell said.
“To address these issues, we will have to help our people identify and transition to new labour market opportunities supported by revised labour market policies. We must also invest in reskilling and upskilling programmes,” he added.
Campbell pointed out that VM is doing its part and in 2018, the group devised what he called an ambitious digital transformation programme.
“The main goal of this programme is to move from ‘doing digital’ to ‘being digital’ by infusing digital technologies into all of VM’s key business processes,” Campbell shared. He cautioned that in order to do this well, “we have had to ensure that our people develop critical digital skills that allow them to thrive, not only in a digital workspace but also in the new digital world.
