King stops short of offering formal apology over transatlantic slave trade

During a speech to Commonwealth leaders at a summit in Antigua, King Charles described the transatlantic slave trade as a shameful chapter that fills his heart with horror. Despite mounting demands for the UK government to issue a formal apology and provide reparations for its historic role in the trade, the King stopped short of offering a formal apology. His address took place amidst increasing pressure from Caribbean nations regarding Britain's involvement in the slave trade.
