King Charles III on Wednesday held a private meeting with the family of the executed leader of the Kenyan rebellion against British colonial rule, a day after the monarch expressed "greatest sorrow and the deepest regret" for the violence of the colonial era.

The family of Dedan Kim athi, who was hanged by the British administration, and relatives of other well-known Kenyan freedom fighters didn't immediately comment - a change from their past outspoken calls for an apology and compensation from Britain.
