From his mother becoming Queen to growing his first beard, the King has numerous personal ties to Kenya. But during this, his first Commonwealth trip as monarch, the King will seek to understand the wrongs suffered under British colonial rule.
The King and Queen will make a state visit to Kenya at the end of October to help shore up relations with the Commonwealth. It will be the first Commonwealth country the couple have visited since the death of Elizabeth II. Buckingham Palace said the visit would 'celebrate the warm relationship' shared between Kenya and the UK. The King and Queen will travel to Nairobi and continue to Mombasa during the four-day visit, which begins on 31 October.
The King's deputy private secretary, Chris Fitzgerald, said the visit will 'acknowledge more painful aspects of the United Kingdom and Kenya's shared history'. He added the King will 'take time to deepen his understanding of the wrongs suffered in this period by people'. The King is expected to make a toast at a state banquet, which will reinforce relations and shared values between the two countries.
