Resident of the White House from 1977 to 1981, Former President Jimmy Carter died at the symbolic age of 100 on Sunday December 29, 2024. A disappearance which apparently affected King Charles III. While he has just spent the Christmas holidays surrounded by members of the royal family at Sandringham, the British monarch published a press release on Monday, December 30, 2024, to pay tribute to the former American leader. “It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of President Carter“, first wrote the husband of Camille Parker Bowles. “He was a committed public servant and dedicated his life to promoting peace and human rights.”he then added.
“His dedication and humility were an inspiration to many, and I remember with emotion his visit to the United Kingdom in 1977. (…) My thoughts and prayers are with President Carter's family and the American people.”finally concluded King Charles III. As a reminder, the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II was just 29 years old when President Jimmy Carter visited the United Kingdom in 1977. At the time, the Queen of England had already reigned for more than 25 years. The former resident of the White House died surrounded by his family at his home in Plains, located in the American state of Georgia, as revealed in a press release published by his foundation (the Carter Center, editor's note).
Jimmy Carter: after the tribute from Charles III, the former president of the USA should be entitled to a national funeral
To honor the memory of Jimmy Carter, who was the oldest living American president of all time before his death, public ceremonies will be organized across the Atlantic. These will then be followed by a private burial of the remains of the former American president in Plains. Furthermore, a state funeral should also be arranged by the United States government. As a reminder, Jimmy Carter was a candidate for his own succession in 1980unfortunately, the numerous crises which punctuated the end of his mandate did not convince American voters to once again place their trust in him.
