King Charles's Caribbean tour

King Charles's Caribbean tour reached its final stage in Antigua, where he addressed slavery in a speech to Commonwealth representatives. He had opened the tour by acknowledging the "suffering of the past" linked to Britain's role in the transatlantic slave trade, without issuing a formal apology. Earlier stops included a lighter moment on the second day when he joined locals in dancing. The trip has taken place against a backdrop of regional debate over reparations and calls in some Caribbean states to cut ties with the monarchy.
