King Charles will recognize the “unpleasant parts” of the UK’s past with Kenya during his visit to the East African country next month, according to his office.
Camilla will go with him when he goes to Kenya. The President of Kenya, William Ruto, invited him to come for their 60th anniversary of independence from Britain.
Kenya became free from the UK’s control in 1963, and ever since then, both countries have had a strong bond with each other.
The violent colonial legacy of the Mau Mau uprising, which caused a period called the Emergency, is still remembered.
Chris Fitzgerald, who assists the King, said that the King and Queen will have a plan to show how the British and Kenyan people are connected in things like art, technology, business, education, and new ideas.
The trip will also recognize the difficult parts of the history shared by the UK and Kenya, including the Emergency period from 1952 to 1960.
During the visit, the king will spend time learning more about the hardships experienced by the people of Kenya during that time.
