King Charles calls the slave trade a 'shameful chapter' at the Commonwealth summit, with no apology
At the opening of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua and Barbuda, King Charles said the transatlantic slave trade fills his heart with horror, but he stopped short of a formal apology or any mention of reparations. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said Britain is open to apologising but will not pay reparations.
