King Charles plans to visit Kenya, where his mother became Queen after the death of King George VI in February 1952. The visit is expected to be an emotional one for
the King, who is keen to put the Commonwealth at the heart of his reign. He is expected to visit East Africa before rearranging a trip to France that was abandoned earlier this year due to security concerns. The visit to Kenya will be an important marker for his reign, underlining how he views the Commonwealth.
The King's late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, held the Commonwealth in high regard and her son is keen to preserve and protect the common values shared by its members. The visit to Kenya will be an important step in his reign, shoring up connections between the family of countries supported by his late mother. Photo by Dan Marsh, Wikimedia commons.
