In a recent public speech, King Charles, who is currently on a tour of Kenya to commemorate the country’s 60 years under British rule, shared his feelings about his visits.
This revelation has sparked a response from Tom Bauer, a prominent royal biographer, who criticized the King’s stance on the continent.
Bauer, the author of the controversial book Revenge, has faced early backlash from Meghan Markle over inaccurate accusations and controversial statements in his work.
Despite the controversy, Bauer continues to be a prominent commentator in the UK.
During a recent interview on GB News, Bauer commented that King Charles never liked going to Africa and suggested that he preferred visiting other countries within the white commonwealth rather than African destinations.
Bauer also claimed that Charles was compelled to go to Africa shortly before becoming king.
However, in contrast to Bauer’s statements, King Charles himself appeared to have a more favorable view of Africa during his visit to Kenya.
In his speech, he expressed his joy at being in the country and emphasized the significance of returning to Kenya in its 60th year of independence.
He did not directly address any preferences regarding commonwealth destinations.
Bauer used the interview to criticize left-wing American scholars as well, accusing them of exaggerating negative aspects of British Empire history.
His previous work, The Rebel Prince, where he critiqued King Charles, earned him the title of Witchfinder General by contemporary biographers.
While in Kenya, King Charles also expressed sorrow over the Mau Mau rebellion that occurred in the 1950s during British colonial rule.
This uprising resulted in significant casualties, with an official death toll of 10,000.
In 2013, the British government paid around $25 million to over 5,000 survivors of British camps where atrocities took place.
Bauer’s comment in the GB News interview further expanded on his belief that the suffering caused by the British Empire had been exaggerated, particularly by left-wing American pundits.
He argued that Kenya continues to benefit from the British legacy and described it as a thriving African nation.
The ongoing debate over reparations for slavery and colonialism has included calls from Caribbean nations, which were also mentioned in the interview.
Bauer firmly stated that there would be no compensation given, as the British government cannot accept legal responsibility for the actions of the British authorities within Kenya.
The recent statements made by King Charles regarding his previous visits to Africa have sparked discussions about the historical record of British colonial rule in Kenya.
It raises questions about the overall perception of the British Empire’s impact on the continent.
While some, like Bauer, argue that the suffering has been exaggerated, others maintain that it is essential to acknowledge and address the injustices of the past.
