King Charles told leaders from 56 Commonwealth countries that the slave trade still casts a shadow over the islands. Speaking at their summit in Antigua and Barbuda on Tuesday, he said he is committed to working with members to address past wrongs. Prime Minister Andy Burnham indicated his willingness to issue a formal apology, though he dismissed the possibility of reparations.
