Queen’s death: Premier Wheatley to travel with Governor Rankin to UK
Elizabeth II, the Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms, the longest-living and longest-reigning British monarch, died at the age of 96 on September 8, 2022, at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II will take place at 11:00BST (4:00pm VI time) on Monday, September 19, 2022, at Westminster Abbey.
‘Honour & privilege’
“I can say to you that certainly it is an honour and a privilege for me to travel with the Governor to the United Kingdom and to convey our collective condolence to the Royal Family, to the people of the United Kingdom, to all the Overseas Territories and to the Commonwealth,” Dr Wheatley stated prior to a 96 Gun Salute done as a sign of respect for The Queen at Queen Elizabeth II Park on September 9, 2022.
The Premier also spoke of the visits made to the Virgin Islands by The Queen in 1966 and 1977.
“And the videos that we see circulating on social media today, of all the people of the Virgin Islands that came out to be able to welcome Her Majesty, and the stories and fond memories that persons have of those times, of the persons who drove her around and the persons who helped her to cut the ribbon for the bridge.
“I reflect even more personally on the fact that my grandfather, then Chief Minister Dr Willard Wheatley, hosted Her Majesty and Prince Phillip right here in the Virgin Islands, and the type of pride my family had with the pictures, portraits that they took together that still in a position of prominence in our familial home.”
VI already has ‘strong relationship’ with King Charles III- Premier
Premier Wheatley concluded that he has every confidence that the Government and people of the Virgin Islands will engender the same type of warm relationship with His Majesty King Charles III.
He said King Charles had travelled to the Virgin Islands following Hurricane Irma and “we have already established a very strong relationship.”

Mourning all day and mourning all night
Falling over ourselves to get all of the misery right
Oh and it’s BBBbBbBVI.
His decision to make the trip to England with Governor John J. Rankin too pay respect to the late or deceased Queen Elizabeth that died a few days past in an act of good respect for her 70 years of unselfish services.
Natalio Sajande Wheatley leadership of the Unity Government is important, and improving. Most of that disrespting him are power hungry. Much of the problems we are now experiencing happened under their watch. Envy, jealously, and lust for power are selfish attitude. We should support the Unity Government that is now in power, not continue undermining and working to bring its downfall.
So what was this reparations argument all about and why he supported having radars on a barge instead of a free UK Queen Royal ship, why he supported Andrew in refusing the vitally important low cost interest free loan of 400 million which if we had received it then, all public schools in the bvi would have been rebuilt by now.
This is why one shouldn't trust politicians, they swing in any current going there way which benefits them.
the them government administration refused the assistance BUT all now in 2022 the territory still limping
