Washington, why are you so pissed off on this one ...even if the Prince did not propose in Kenya it is such a delightful thing to watch - I watched the full Will and Kate interview.
 
Dont underestimate the value in foreign investment, lending, tourism in having the Kenya name prefixed to a royal fairytale romance and wedding. It may be worth many CNN adverts and expensive govt trips abroad marketing Kenya. Note that the name Kenya was repeated endless times yesterday across the world in a multitude of foreign languages.

The BBC Bureau in Kenya has today sent a team to the hotel where William proposed to Kate.

So either way, Kenya can still benefit from the whole thing.

Benefit in what way?

I'd have thought Kenyans would make the issue about drug barons being in govt a priority, rather than chase after the aftermath of the Prince proposing to the girlfriend. To the British, it makes sense. It's something in the monarchy, but to Kenyans, fighting drugs and corruption makes more sense, imho.
