King Charles was reminded of demands for Britain to pay reparations for its role in the slave trade during his visit to the Bahamas on October 28, 2026. A demonstration was staged near Clifford Park, where the King met local students, with protesters calling for reparations.
The British government has consistently rejected demands for an apology or reparations. King Charles acknowledged the injustices of slavery, but did not offer a formal apology.
The issue of reparations is expected to be discussed at the Commonwealth summit next week.
