The then Princess Elizabeth and husband Philip were staying at Treetops, a lodge deep in Aberdare National Park, when King George VI died.
The King has said the historic location where the late Queen became monarch “no longer exists”, as he was shown a picture of the Kenyan retreat.
The then Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh were on an official visit to Kenya in 1952 when the royal was told of the death of her father King George VI and she acceded to the throne. It is thought the building was burnt down a few years after Queen Elizabeth’s visit during national unrest, which led to independence from the UK, known as the Mau Mau uprising.
