The Prime Minister is to meet with Prince Charles in Rwanda on Friday (24 June) after Boris Johnson's controversial plan to deport asylum seekers to the African country sparked fury. The pair will come together at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in the capital Kigali, where Mr Johnson will be embarking on an eight-day diplomatic whirlwind.
The summit is a just a few miles from the hostel where asylum seekers were due to be forced from Britain under a £120m deal. Prince Charles will be joining the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, who are already in Rwanda ahead of the CHOGM.
The meeting between the PM and the royal will be its first since reports emerged that the Prince of Wales branded the policy “appalling”. Clarence House has not confirmed or denied the private comments, which also include that the heir was “more than disappointed," reports the Mirror.
