King Charles faces slavery reparations and apology demands as he prepares to fly out on a nine-day Caribbean tour
King Charles III and Queen Camilla, pictured in October, are to visit the Bahamas, Guyana and Antigua and Barbuda, with the King still undergoing cancer treatment during what one historian calls the biggest risk of his…Prime Minister Andy Burnham's government has refused to pay reparations, with aides warning of a repeat of the controversy that dogged William's 2022 Caribbean tour.
Niambi Hall Campbell-Dean, chair of the Bahamas National Reparations Committee, asks: 'Why do we still have a King?' Jamaica has taken its reparations case to Charles, and it now sits with the island's highest court of appeal in the UK. The UK Government has consistently rejected any apology or payout. The King, 77, will travel while still undergoing cancer treatment.
Historian Sir Anthony Seldon calls the tour the 'biggest risk' of Charles's reign so far.
Laura Trevelyan and relatives have paid about £100,000 in voluntary reparations.
The committee predicts children waving 'for the Crown that has taken everything from their ancestors'.
