News 📅 27 October 2026 📍 Antigua and Barbuda, Guyana

Reuters reported on 27 October that King Charles III and Queen Camilla began a visit to the Bahamas, Guyana and Antigua and Barbuda amid Caribbean demands for reparations for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade. CARICOM leaders are expected to raise reparatory justice at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. Reuters reports that Buckingham Palace says the King will acknowledge Britain’s involvement in slavery but will not issue a formal apology; the British government opposes both an official apology and financial reparations. The entry records an ongoing political dispute, not a completed reparations agreement.
