The British monarch is set to fly to the African nation next week.
When King Charles III visits Kenya next week, he’ll do something no other member of his family has done in the country. That’s because, in addition to the usual fare of state banquets and such, he’s planning on acknowledging the “more painful aspects” of shared history between the United Kingdom and Kenya, according to Buckingham Palace. The four-day visit starts Tuesday and comes as the country prepares to celebrate 60 years of independence from Britain.
In 2013, following a years-long legal battle brought by a group of elderly Kenyans who said they were tortured during Britain’s rule, then-Foreign Secretary William Hague announced a £19.9 million settlement between the British Government and more than 5,000 Kenyan claimants over human rights abuses, along with the construction of a memorial for victims of torture.
