Why head of Anglican Church in Kenya lives next to State House

State house Nairobi then known as Government house (r) and All Saints Cathedral Nairobi

Queen Elizabeth II might visit Kenya to mark 100 years of the All Saints Cathedral. After all, the Queen is the head of the Church of England. It will be her fifth visit to the country. Her first was in 1952 when she became Queen while on holiday at the Treetops Hotel in Nyeri County, followed by visits in 1972, 1983 and a night stopover in 1991.
