On behalf of the Grand Bahama Children’s Home (GBCH), our board of directors and the Donor community, we send our heartfelt condolences to the Royal Family, citizens of the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth at-large, on the passing of  HRH Queen Elizabeth II. 

We were privileged only earlier this year to host her Grandson and his wife, the now Prince and Princess of Wales, to our Home for a visit with our children, in recognition of the Queen’s Silver Jubilee anniversary. The visit of Prince William and Princess Kate was in keeping with Queen Elizabeth’s commitment to service, caring for the less fortunate and her enduring support of charitable works.

This significant highlight will forever be etched in the collective memories of our children. Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth and know that we are forever thankful for your service beyond self, to the very end.

On behalf of the Government and People of The Bahamas, His Excellency The Most Honourable Sir Cornelius Smith, ON. GCMG, expresses deep sadness on learning of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

In expressing his sadness, His Excellency recalls Her Majesty's several visits to The Bahamas at which time she was joyfully received by our people.

His Excellency invites all Bahamians to join in prayer for the repose of the soul of Her Majesty, and for the bereaved members of the Royal Family.

The Ministry advises the general public that it has received a communication from the Embassy of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, advising the Ministry of the apparent kidnapping of a member of its locally employed staff.

 According to information received from the family of the long-time employee at the Embassy, the incident took place around 6:00 a.m. 1 September 2022 in the employee's neighbourhood. 

 The matter has been reported to the police in Haiti and is being investigated.

 Our prayers are with the victim and family for a safe and speedy return. We will assist the authorities to the extent that we can.

 We are advised that the diplomatic staff generally are not at risk. However, additional security measures are being taken.

 The Embassy will continue to monitor this situation along with the general security situation in the Port-au-Prince area, and advise the Ministry accordingly on recommended courses of action to take.
