This week, King Charles III embarked on his first state visit to a Commonwealth country since taking the throne last year. Royal commentator Afua Hagan breaks down key moments from the trip, including the absence of an apology for Britain's colonial abuses.
A state visit to Kenya was always going to be a poignant and somewhat difficult trip for King Charles III. His first visit to a Commonwealth country after the death of Queen Elizabeth II and his ascension to the throne was to the very country that his mother found out she was going to be Queen.. It was also during his mother’s trip to Kenya in 1952 that she discovered she was going to be queen.
While the King acknowledged his state visit may not be able to change the past, addressing both countries’ shared history may “demonstrate the strength of our friendship today.” Queen Camilla visits the equine welfare charity, Brooke, to learn how Brooke and the Kenya Society for the Protection and Care of Animals are working together towards the protection of donkeys and promoting their welfare, in Karen District of Nairobi, Kenya, on Nov. 1, 2023. The King nearly took a tumble as he tripped on a roll of artificial grass during his visit to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery in Nairobi.
