  1. King Charles III begins Caribbean tour in the Bahamas, acknowledging 'great suffering' of slavery without apologising

    Britain's King Charles III arrived in the Bahamas on Tuesday, Oct 27, at the start of a nine-day Caribbean tour, and attended a youth rally at Clifford Park in the capital Nassau, where the Bahamas declared independence in 1973. He said the finest parts of Bahamian culture 'were born out of darkness' and that 'it is right to acknowledge the great suffering of the past' on these islands and elsewhere, but did not apologise. He confirmed that next week's Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua and Barbuda will discuss the legacy of slavery, and his tour includes a state visit to Guyana. The Bahamas National Reparations Committee said the king's remarks fell short of what justice requires, and a small group of protesters held placards demanding reparations.
