NAIROBI (Reuters) -Britain's King Charles on Wednesday met with relatives and representatives of people involved in Kenya's independence struggle, as survivors of colonial-era abuses criticised Charles' failure to issue a full apology or propose reparations.

At a state dinner on Tuesday, Charles expressed his "deepest regret" for what he called abhorrent and unjustifiable acts of violence committed against Kenyans during the country's independence struggle.
