Royal biographer Robert Jobson told Newsweek that 'expressing sorrow and regret is the mark of a civilized country' after King Charles spoke about colonialism.
King Charles III's comments on colonialism were 'the right thing to say and heartfelt,' according to royal biographer Robert Jobson.The brutal suppression of the Mau Mau rebellion by the British administration in Kenya during the 1950s, at the start of Queen Elizabeth II's reign, has been a key point of discussion during King Charles and Queen Camilla's visit to the country.
Andrews, who was interviewed for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix show Harry & Meghan, told Newsweek:'Even an apology wouldn't be enough, to be honest. Nothing short of renouncing his throne at the Treetops Hotel, where his mother found out she was queen, would be enough to show he understands the complicity of the royal family in the racism that still marks the country and the continent.
