The head of the Caribbean’s reparations commission has appealed to King Charles as a “human brother” whose family he said had benefited from slavery to support reparations talks at next month’s Commonwealth leaders meeting in the Caribbean.
Speaking at a press conference before the Commonwealth heads of government meeting (Chogm) in Antigua and Barbuda next month, Prof Hilary Beckles urged the king to use his influence to advance slavery reparations talks between Britain and the Caribbean.
