King Charles expresses ‘sorrow’ in Antigua over the slave trade

At the opening of the Commonwealth summit in Antigua and Barbuda, King Charles III said the transatlantic slave trade filled him with “horror” and “the most profound personal sorrow”. He acknowledged that the trade still casts a shadow over Caribbean islands and other Commonwealth members, while noting the Royal Navy’s leading role in ending it.
