King Charles III said this while addressing a summit of Commonwealth leaders in Antigua and Barbuda. “As I have said in the past, that shameful chapter in history fills my heart with horror and my soul with profound and personal sadness,” he said, adding that character and courage can come together to defeat “the most monstrous of injustices”, as happened thanks to the determination that led to the end of the international slave trade.
