HELLO! joined the royal couple, who were greeted by cheering locals in Nairobi and Mombasa, as they undertook a packed schedule of official engagements that demonstrated the close bond between Kenya and the UK.
After a ceremonial welcome at State House in Nairobi from President William Ruto and his wife Rachel, highlights of their trip included visits to an elephant orphanage, a donkey sanctuary and beach conservation projects, plus a glittering state banquet.
Along the way they met schoolchildren, Second World War veterans, religious leaders, young entrepreneurs and Kenyan marines.
The King told how Kenya holds a special place in his family’s heart: not only was Elizabeth II on tour there in 1952 when she “arrived a Princess and left a Queen”, but Prince William chose it as the location to propose to Kate Middleton in 2010.
His Majesty also recognised the uncomfortable colonial history between Britain and Kenya, which saw “abhorrent and unjustifiable acts of violence” committed against Kenyans as they fought for independence in the 1950s – something he said caused “the greatest sorrow and the deepest regret”.
Over these 16 pages, we bring you the best details and photos from the visit.
