A historian has explained why Otumfuo Osei Tutu II could not use the Ghanaian flag recentlyin the UK where he attended the coronation of King Charles III.
Professor Sarfo Kantanka, in an interview with Openuo Radio in Kumasi, explained that the Asantehene was called in his role as Chief Asanteman and not as a representative of the Government of Ghana. Heexplained that publicly, thePresident of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo represented him "when the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II was installed as King of the Asante Kingdom, making it impossible to use the Ghanaianflag to represent kingdom eyes,"Opemsuo Radio News said. Discussions on social media erupted over the weekend when an unconfirmed report published on Twitter showed Otumfuo and his wife Lady Julia as part of the royal familyinvited to a function at the abbey. of Westminster. Whileall the other monarchs have their national flags under their portraits, Otumfuo and Lady Julia have Asanteman flagsunder their portraits. So what is the misunderstanding about?
