Antigua PM calls for King Charles removal and UK slavery reparations
Antigua's Prime Minister Gaston Browne has called for his country to become a republic, removing King Charles as head of state, and demanded the UK pay reparations for slavery.
Gaston Browne, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, has said his country should remove King Charles as its monarch and become a republic. He has also demanded that the UK pay reparations for its role in the slave trade. Browne criticised Conservative politician Kemi Badenoch's opposition to reparations, saying she was 'misguided'. UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he is 'open' to apologising for slavery but confirmed the government will not pay reparations. King Charles is attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua, which is expected to be dominated by discussions on slavery and reparations.
