“He reminded my wife, Charlene, that we were old friends at funerals and weddings. Since two people were usually invited to these celebrations and we were single, we were often put next to each other,” Albert said.

The two heads of state also spoke briefly about the environment and the oceans. According to Albert, “Charles could no longer express himself as he used to on these subjects close to his heart.”
