The destination is particularly symbolic for Charles as his late mother was in Kenya on a royal tour with her husband Prince Philip in 1952 when she became queen on the death of her father King George VI. It also comes as the east African nation celebrates 60 years of independence from Britain. During the trip, which will run from Oct 31 to Nov 3, Charles will hold a meeting with President William Ruto, attend a state banquet and hear about how the two nations are working together on issues such as defence and climate change, Chris Fitzgerald, the king's deputy private secretary, told reporters.
"His majesty will take time during the visit to deepen his understanding of the wrongs suffered in this period by the people of Kenya," Fitzgerald said.
