King Charles III acknowledges "painful" history at Commonwealth summit

King Charles has called on the Commonwealth to recognize its painful history, including the transatlantic slave trade. This comes as African and Caribbean nations continue to seek reparations from Britain for its role in the trade. Charles made this statement during a meeting with leaders representing 56 Commonwealth nations. Some leaders had hoped for an apology from Charles, but he instead acknowledged the ongoing impact of the past. Charles's address also touched on the climate crisis and development challenges.
