A video has emerged whereby the new King of the United Kingdom (UK), King Charles III, is seen shaking crowds’ hands who came to mourn his mother who passed early last week, Queen Elizabeth, the second.
It is however, a moment when in the crowd was an adult black man of an African descent waiting for a maiden handshake from the King who shook every hand that came towards him, that has sparked mixed reactions from Kenyans and Africans at large.
The king after shaking each and every other hand, skipped and ignored the African’s handshake, and then proceeded to greet the other white hands.
It is alleged all other African Presidents boarded the same bus to the funeral whereas United States President Joe Biden came with his full presidential convoy.
Social media influencer, Ahmed Asmali reacted by stating, “From their leaders being put into buses to not being greeted.”
Below are some screengrabs depicting Kenya’s reactions after the incident.
