"Navigating for the future has to be the basis of relations between Kenya and the UK. That's why the King's visit emphasises the main challenges of today and tomorrow. It's about preparing leadership for tomorrow's challenges," said Manoah Esipisu, Kenya's High Commissioner to London. As a monarch, he may do little more than engage in symbolic or cultural events. But as the head of state of the UK, he still carries political responsibility meaning that his events and speeches will be carefully assessed.
A statement from the High Commission office in Nairobi detailing her itinerary says the King and Queen will visit Nairobi City County, Mombasa County and surrounding areas. "The visit will also acknowledge the more painful aspects of the UK and Kenya's shared history, including the Emergency . His Majesty will take time during the visit to deepen his understanding of the wrongs suffered in this period by the people of Kenya," the statement read.
