King Charles trips in worrying moment but avoids taking a tumble in Kenya

King Charles was being guided towards a walkway when he caught his foot under the roll of artificial grass.

He stumbled but avoided falling to the floor before quickly regaining composure.

Queen Camilla, who was walking slightly behind the King as he lost his footing, looked calm during the incident.

Following the brief trip, the King cooly put on his sunglasses and continued walking.

On Tuesday evening, King Charles made a touching tribute to his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

During a speech at a banquet the King recalled his mother's visit to Kenya in 1952, where she found out she would become Queen after the sudden death of her father, King George VI.

He said: "It is well known, I think, that my dear Mother, The late Queen, had a particular affection for Kenya and the Kenyan people.

"She arrived here in 1952 a princess, but left as Queen.

"It is extremely moving to read her diary from that visit, in which she wrote that she did not want to miss a moment of Kenya’s extraordinary landscapes.

"I really cannot thank you enough for the support Kenya gave her through that difficult time."

The visit falls in line with Kenya's plans to commemorate its 60th anniversary of independence.
