Billionaire Jaswant Rai on Tuesday met King Charles III as he began his four-day tour of the country.

In a video doing rounds on social media platforms, Rai is seen standing with other leaders when he greeted the King.

It is, however, not clear where the leaders were. Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi is among prominent leaders visible in the clip.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived in Nairobi on Monday for a four-day State visit to Kenya that will see them tour different places in Nairobi and Mombasa Counties.

On Tuesday evening, King Charles III expressed his deep regret and sorrow for the past atrocities committed by the British government against Kenyans during their struggle for independence, labeling them as abhorrent and unjustifiable during a State Banquet hosted by President William Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto.

The visit, the first official visit by King Charles and Queen Camilla to a commonwealth nation since their coronation in May 2023, is aimed at celebrating the warm relationship between the two countries and the strong and dynamic partnership they continue to forge.

Their Majesties’ programme reflects the ways in which Kenya and the United Kingdom are working together, notably to boost mutual prosperity, tackle climate change, promote youth opportunity and employment, advance sustainable development and create a more stable and secure region.
