Buckingham Palace has said that during the visit Charles “will acknowledge the more painful aspects of the UK and Kenya’s shared history.”
Their majesties received a ceremonial welcome upon arrival and were greeted at State House in Nairobi by the President and First Lady of the Republic of Kenya, Dr. William and Rachel Ruto. The royals received a salute in keeping with royal protocol and attended bi-lateral meetings with the president and First Lady. A spokesman for the British government has described the trip as hugely important for future relations between the UK and Kenya.
They will also visit a new museum dedicated to Kenya’s history where they will unveil a plaque. The busy tour will incorporate up to seven engagements daily as Charles and Camilla are keen to meet as many Kenyans as possible during the trip.
