The United Kingdom (UK) embassy in Harare has confirmed that President Emmerson Mnangagwa is among the invited guests to attend the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on Monday.
The embassy revealed this on Thursday morning while dismissing a “fake” letter purporting to be from the Royal Family barring Mnangagwa’s request to attend the event.
“President Mnangagwa has been invited to attend the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey on Monday,” the embassy said.
“The letter below is fake.”
The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II will take place at Westminster Abbey on Monday, September 19, starting at 11am.
International media anticipates that the funeral will be one of the biggest gatherings of royalty and politicians hosted in the UK for decades.
The royal.uk believes that the venue can hold up to 2,000 people and the congregation will be full of members of the Royal Family, world leaders, politicians, public figures, European royals.
Invitations have already been sent out to over 500 heads of state and dignitaries and the Zimbabwean leader is said to be among the invited guests.
With relations between Zimbabwe and the United Kingdom having been frayed for a long time due to colonial history, Harare remained clear that it will mourn the death of the Queen.
Mnangagwa’s spokesperson George Charamba last week said: “The Queen and members of the Royal Family have retained very warm, apolitical relations with the president and his government, as is appropriate to royalty of course.”

Instead of focusing on rebuilding the country he helped to destroy he’s desperate to keep up appearances @ Public gatherings, how can a President stoop so low as to make headlines for being invited or not invited to a funeral, opening public toilets and cleaning up streets, a whole President ❔🤔🙄😳
Frank Patana if it’s Chamisa invited you clap 👏 hands your hate is visible.
Frank Patana mybe for one moment you should put politics aside and focus on building the country rather than wasting time on politicians
Tarino Ncube : Think before u say something, the politics destroyed the country, how do u suggest it to be rebuild without addressing the root cause, my Brother wake up, bath, have a coffee then comment, your mind is fast asleep.
Frank PatanaFrank Patana The people destroyed the country or the country is not destroyed the politicians are portraying it as destroyed for you to choose them and they get job I don’t trust any opposition besides the eff the whole SADAC.
Tarino Ncube : Whatever my friend, keep your warped views to yourself, don’t try to convince me to buy into your ideology because I never will
Frank PatanaFrank Patana I don’t convince you I am showing you reality that most of opposition supporters thinks the hate they have for ruling party will win the elections and they cry rigging when they lose. You can flood social media with the praise for opposition and hate for ruling party and we check and see you when it comes to vote we check mate you because some of us will join you in insulting others kkkkk

Oh God, to do what?
Why fuss about whether or not invited. Hazvisi zvema kuwa here? If it is gossip, why are you responding to it? Usually u take very long to respond to makuwa. Do so, like u did in Suzzane’s so called allegation. Seems you froze to respond in suzzane’s case. And here u are now so free to deal with the invitation issue which has the same characteristic. Tell us, wont you freeze on this one? So transparent, people can see through you.

Shava To Represent Mnangagwa At Queen Elizabeth II’s Funeral
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Frederick Shava will represent President Emmerson Mnangagwa at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in London on Monday next week.
Deputy Chief Secretary in the Office of the President and Cabinet George Charamba told New Ziana that Mnangagwa was invited to the funeral of the late British monarch but will not be able to attend due to other commitments. Charamba said:
The Foreign Minister (Shava) is attending for the President, who is scheduled to leave for the United Nations General Assembly on the day.
Earlier on Thursday, the British embassy in Zimbabwe dismissed as fake a letter purportedly written by the British government rejecting Mnangagwa’s request to attend the funeral.
Posting on Twitter, the embassy said Mnangagwa is not under any travel restrictions to the United Kingdom. It said:
President Mnangagwa has been invited to attend the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey on Monday. The letter below is fake.
