Andy Burnham is the first prime minister in this line of leaders to say he's open to a formal apology, though the UK has never offered one or paid reparations. King Charles is scheduled to address Commonwealth leaders in Antigua on Tuesday, with Buckingham Palace indicating his speech will convey "unflinching honesty" and "sincere sorrow".
