Heavy rains and floods in Mombasa disrupt King Charles III and Queen Camilla's visit to historic sites.

Kenyan President William Ruto walks with Britain’s King Charles III and Britain’s Queen Camilla before the Royals depart from Moi International Airport in Mombasa on November 3, 2023.

Instead, the royal couple briefly posed for photographs inside the three-wheeler vehicle, which was decorated in a bold African pattern and a Union Jack logo. King Charles has long been a fervent environmentalist and his programme on the four-day state visit to Kenya has focused on green issues, as well as support for creative arts, technology and young people.

The visit has however stirred mixed emotions in the former colony, with calls for the king to apologise for Britain’s brutal crackdown on Kenya’s independence struggle.
