King Charles to Address Colonial Legacy in Caribbean Visit

King Charles III will begin a Caribbean tour this month, during which he will acknowledge the “darkest days” of colonial rule and slavery. According to a Buckingham Palace spokesman, the 77‑year‑old monarch will first travel alone to the Bahamas and Guyana before joining Queen Camilla for a trip to Antigua and Barbuda. There, Charles is scheduled to deliver a speech at a meeting of Commonwealth heads of government. The king, who is still receiving treatment for cancer, will visit these former colonies to confront the historical injustices that shaped the region’s past and present. The visit marks a significant moment in the monarchy’s engagement with its colonial legacy.
