King Charles III begins a nine-day Caribbean tour in the Bahamas, where he faces calls for an apology and reparations for slavery.
King Charles III arrived in the Bahamas on 27 October 2026 at the start of a nine-day Caribbean tour. In a speech at Clifford Park, the site where the Bahamas gained independence in 1973, he acknowledged the "great suffering" of the past and said Commonwealth leaders would discuss the legacy of slavery at their meeting in Antigua and Barbuda. Caribbean reparations bodies said his remarks fell short of the full apology and reparations they are seeking; the British government has not advised an apology.
