Queen Camilla and King Charles had a packed day in Kenya, and the Queen's outings included meeting dogs, donkeys, horses and elephants — all while wearing an animal-themed dress
, the royal couple started Wednesday's events together at a Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery in Nairobi, joining British and Kenyan military personnel in an act of remembrance.
King Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 76, then split up for separate events. While the monarch visited the United Nations Office in Nairobi, the Queen headed to the Brooke Animal Sanctuary to hear how the charity is working with the Kenya Society for the Protection and Care of Animals to rescue donkeys, horses and mules at risk. Camilla is the president of the equine welfare charity.Queen Camilla met donkey owners and heard how the project has impacted their lives.
Camilla got the chance to bottle-feed a baby elephant, and the couple also saw a baby rhino named Raha. "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."
