King Charles III and Queen Camilla's arrival took place at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) shortly before 11 p.m. on Monday night.
Their official four-day visit to Kenya is set to commence on Tuesday, October 31, with the primary aim of celebrating the strong and dynamic cooperation between the two nations and their enduring friendly relations.
During their stay, the royal couple will tour various locations, including Nairobi City County, Mombasa County, and surrounding areas.
As Kenya gears up to commemorate 60 years of independence, the Royal Couple's visit aims to shine a spotlight on the enduring partnership between the UK and Kenya.
Notably, the Royal Visit will address the historical complexities of the UK-Kenya relationship, including a nod to the painful Emergency period from 1952-1960.
His Majesty's commitment to meeting and listening to those directly affected by this period reflects a desire for open dialogue and acknowledgment of shared history.
