King Charles begins nine-day Caribbean tour amid calls for slavery apology

King Charles starts a nine-day Caribbean tour on Tuesday and will attend a Commonwealth leaders' meeting, where campaigners want an apology for slavery.

Posted

King Charles III begins a nine-day tour of the Caribbean on Tuesday, The Guardian reports. He will visit the Bahamas and Guyana, then travel to Antigua and Barbuda.

He will attend the Commonwealth heads of government meeting, known as Chogm. The New York Times says the king is hosting the gathering, which brings together leaders of more than 50 nations.

The Times reports he will face calls for reparations and apologies over Britain's colonial past.

Campaigners told The Guardian the tour could speed up efforts to remove him as head of state in several countries. They said that could happen unless he does more to address the monarchy's links to the slave trade. One campaigner's quoted demand: "We want a full apology for slavery."
