The Kingused his speechat the diplomatic dinner to express “the greatest sorrow and the deepest regret” around the “wrongdoings of the past,” but hedid not directly apologizeon behalf of the crown as some protestors and historians demanded as the trip kicked off.

King Charles said, “It is the intimacy of our shared history that has brought our people together. However, we must also acknowledge the most painful times of our long and complex relationship.”

“The wrongdoings of the past are a cause of the greatest sorrow and the deepest regret,” he continued. “There were abhorrent and unjustifiable acts of violence committed against Kenyans as they waged, as you said at the United Nations, a painful struggle for independence and sovereignty — and for that, there can be no excuse.”
