Watch: King Charles and Queen Camilla visit Kenya as calls for colonial apology grow

King Charles and Queen Camilla touched down in Kenya for a five-day state visit, which will mark their first since their coronation.

The trip will reflect on the country’s ‘painful history’ with the UK, to mark its 60 years of independence.

“His Majesty will take time during the visit to deepen his understanding of the wrongs suffered in this period by the people of Kenya”, Chris Fitzgerald, deputy private secretary to His Majesty said upon the trip’s announcement.

In keeping with the monarch’s interest in conservation, they will visit Nairobi National Park to learn about the Kenya Wildlife Service’s work, as well as meet President William Ruto along with other members of government, and young people making change in their communities.

They flew to the East African nation on Monday (30 October), using 40 per cent sustainable fuel on the RAF voyager. While on board, the royals shared videos of themselves to social media enjoying cups of tea, and going over their packed schedules for the trip.
