The Ambassador of Equatorial Guinea, Ms Mari-Cruz Evuna Andeme, presented her credentials to the Queen at Buckingham Palace on 24 October 2012.
Soon after arriving in the UK, each foreign Ambassador has an audience with the Queen. This is a formal ceremony in which the Ambassadors present their Letters of Credence and introduce their fellow officials. Each Ambassadors’ party then returns to their Embassy by carriage. All 172 Foreign Missions in the UK are accredited to the Court of St James’s, as St James’s Palace remains the senior palace and official residence of the Sovereign.
