00:00King Charles has described the transatlantic slave trade as a shameful chapter of history,
00:06saying it fills him with profound sorrow. He was speaking at the Commonwealth Summit in Antigua
00:12and Barbuda, where leaders are discussing the organisation. However, the King stopped short of
00:18making a formal apology for Britain's role. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said he is open to an
00:24apology but believes financial reparations are not the right answer. The debate has renewed questions
00:31about how Britain should acknowledge its colonial past and what practical action might address its
00:37legacy. The King highlighted education, jobs, trade and climate resilience as areas for partnership.
