Queen Camilla feeds orphaned elephants at Sheldrick Wildlife Elephant Orphanage in Nariobi during the Royals ongoing visit of Kenya.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's favoured royal reporter Omid Scobie today criticised the decision to roll out the red carpet in Kenya for the King and Queen's state visit this week - claiming it made them look 'out of touch'.
Omid Scobie, who criticised the Wales' at the time, today tweeted the red carpet image from Kenya and questioned the 'optics' for the King and Queen, declaring: 'Even if this was a choice made by the hosts , the optics of the King and Queen walking on a red carpet to avoid soil at Nairobi National Park are pretty ridiculous and out of touch. A clued up Palace aide could have easily asked for it to be removed.
He tweeted Mr Scobie and said: 'The Kenyans were very keen on red carpets. I saw more of them here than on any other royal tour. But otherwise agree, this looks odd.' In a keynote speech that went far further than many expected amid calls for an apology over government abuses under his late mother’s reign, King Charles said there was ‘no excuse’ for British ’wrongdoings’ in the East African nation, particularly against the Mau Mau rebellion.
But he stopped short of making a full apology called for by survivors of that period and local rights groups who are pressing for reparations from the British government His words came as President Ruto made an even more strongly-worded address - and hinted at further demands for reparations.
