State visit by Charles III to Kenya

[2] Charles's mother, Queen Elizabeth II, was in Kenya at the time of her accession in 1952 following the death of her father King George VI.

[4] The visit was preceded by a reception hosted by King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Buckingham Palace on October 24 to mark the 60th anniversary of Kenya's independence from the United Kingdom.

In his speech, the King referred to Britain's colonial actions as "abhorrent and unjustifiable acts of violence" and as a "cause of the greatest sorrow and the deepest regret", but he did not formally apologize.

[8] King Charles also held a meeting with the family of Dedan Kimathi, a rebel leader who was hanged by the colonial British authorities.

The King and Queen attended a military ceremony with President Ruto at Mtwonge Naval Base, where Charles also reviewed an honour guard.
