King Charles sipped on kava on his visit to Samoa this week while an Australian politician paid a high price for downing too much in Micronesia
Kava, the traditional Pacific drink, was served to King Charles III on Thursday while he was declared “high chief” of Samoa on an 11-day tour of the island nation and Australia.
The brew made headlines in 2022 when Australia’s former deputy prime minister was hospitalised after mistakenly drinking too much kava at a ceremony in Micronesia.
