KING Charles has been given a red carpet welcome in Kenya with Queen Camilla at his side.
The Royals were this morning snapped after they jetted off on their first trip to the Commonwealth country since their coronation earlier this year.
The pair were seen beaming as they were greeted by President of the Republic of Kenya, William Ruto, and the First Lady of the Republic of Kenya, Rachel Ruto.
The King and Queen were also welcomed to Nairobi State House with a Guard of Honour after a 21-gun salute.
They are expected to head out on a number of Royal engagements while on their visit.
Charles, who was a young prince when the uprising led to Kenya leaving British rule, will make an impassioned toast at a State Banquet at a traditional u-shaped table.

It comes just days after Queen Camilla cut an elegant figure as she attended British Champions Day at Ascot Racecourse.
Her Royal Majesty was dressed in an emerald green dress coat and matching hat as she arrived at the racecourse to celebrate Frankie Dettori’s final day of racing in Britain.
