Head of the Commonwealth, His Majesty King Charles III, says the Transatlantic slave trade “still casts a shadow” over the Caribbean islands and other Commonwealth countries.
He said at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Heads of Government in Antigua on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026:
“As I have said before, that shameful chapter of history is one that fills my heart with horror and my soul with the most profound personal sorrow.”
