King Charles acknowledges slavery shame, avoids reparations pledge at CHOGM

At the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, King Charles expressed determination to build a better future after the 'shame' of slavery, but stopped short of apologizing or committing to reparations. The summit's agenda is dominated by Caribbean and African states pressing for reparatory justice, while the UK government resists formal apology and compensation. This signals a diplomatic standoff between the UK and former colonies, with potential implications for Commonwealth cohesion and UK foreign policy.
