In an interview with GB News, Bower implied that King Charles was forced to travel to Africa soon before taking the throne and that he preferred to visit white Commonwealth states rather than African locations. By contrast, King Charles did not specifically address preferences for Commonwealth countries when he visited Kenya; instead, he expressed his happiness to be in the country and stressed the need of returning during the 60th year of Kenya's independence.
Bower also used the occasion to criticize left-leaning American scholars, charging them with exaggerated the bad aspects of the history of the British Empire. The Mail on Sunday dubbed him the "Undisputed Witchfinder General of Contemporary Biographers" for his previous work, "Rebel Prince," which examined King Charles.
King Charles conveyed his condolences for the 1950s Mau Rebellion, which took place in Kenya during British colonial authority and claimed a great number of lives. Reparations for colonialism and slavery, which have been contentious issues, including demands for reparations from Caribbean nations, were not specifically mentioned by him.
Bower emphasized that the British government could not take legal responsibility for the acts of the British Administration in Kenya and vehemently declared that there would be no restitution.
