King Charles trips while commemorating world war veterans in Kenya
King Charles jokes about his ‘failing’ leaking pen disasterKing Charles, 74, and his wife, Queen Camilla, 76, were visiting the Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery in Nairobi, Kenya, Wednesday when the monarch almost took a nasty spill on some faux grass.Once Charles steadied himself, he plopped on his sunglasses and kept on walking.The couple have been in the area since Tuesday and will stay for five days.
Laura Trevelyan — a former BBC journalist — stated Monday that Charles should directly express remorse for his ancestors’ involvement with the transatlantic slave trade.“I would hope very much that in the coming years, he can apologize for the royal family’s historic links to slavery and make a meaningful financial gesture that would be seen as reparative,” Trevelyan told
“But what that figure is, I have no idea,” she added. “There would be a great healing power to an apology for slavery and some kind of reparative justice strategy from the king.”Charles’ next international trip will be to the United Arab Emirates for the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference.Buckingham Palace announced Wednesday.
