英国国王查尔斯三世计划在10月27日至11月4日访问加勒比地区期间，正视英国殖民统治和奴隶贸易的历史1。此次访问涵盖巴哈马、圭亚那、安提瓜和巴布达三个国家1。查尔斯表示将"不回避我们过去最黑暗的日子"1。
查尔斯预计将在安提瓜和巴布达与英联邦各国政府首脑会议上发表演讲1。这一立场与其以往的表态相一致——2021年他曾在巴巴多斯评价奴隶贸易为"令人震惊的暴行"1。然而，英国政府上月拒绝了关于奴隶贸易赔偿的请求1，这可能成为此次访问中的一个关键议题。
King Charles III will embark on a tour of the Caribbean from October 27 to November 4, 2024, visiting the Bahamas, Guyana, and Antigua and Barbuda, during which he plans to acknowledge the "darkest days" of Britain's colonial rule and the slave trade.1 The King intends to address what he has described as the nation's most troubling historical period, stating he will not shy away from confronting this legacy.1
The monarch will deliver a speech at a Commonwealth heads of government conference in Antigua and Barbuda as part of the tour.1 This visit follows a similar journey undertaken by Prince William to the Caribbean in 2022, which was marked by anti-monarchy protests.1 Charles previously characterized the slave trade as a "shocking atrocity" during a 2021 visit to Barbados.1 However, the British government declined last month to accede to demands for reparations related to the slave trade.1
