Why King Charles can't apologize for Britain benefitting from slavery
Show notes
The King is in the Caribbean, and, so far, he's faced hardly any protests from people campaigning for reparations for transatlantic slavery.
But the leaders of the countries he's visiting have been speaking out. The prime minister of the Bahamas told Sky News that reparation is not just about money, but acknowledging what slavery did.
There will be more calls for reparations at the Commonwealth summit in Antigua, which the King is attending as head of the organisation.
But as Prince William currently shows little inclination to follow his father in becoming head of the Commonwealth, will it be harder in future to put pressure on Britain?
