King Charles to address colonial slavery during Caribbean tour

King Charles III Caribbean tour transatlantic slave trade reparations Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting

King Charles III will acknowledge the ‘darkest days’ of Britain’s colonial history and the transatlantic slave trade during an upcoming tour of the Caribbean. The royal visit, scheduled from October 27 to November 4, will include stops in the Bahamas and Guyana, followed by a trip to Antigua and Barbuda with Queen Camilla to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).

While the King has expressed personal sorrow over the ‘appalling atrocity’ of slavery in the past, Buckingham Palace confirmed he will not issue a formal apology or commit to financial reparations. The Palace stated that such matters are the responsibility of the British government, which has previously ruled out paying reparations.

The tour takes place amid heightened calls for reparatory justice from Caribbean and African nations. Recently, a Jamaican delegation submitted a petition to the King requesting legal guidance on Britain’s reparations obligations, specifically asking the Privy Council to assess the legality of enslavement under English and international law.
