The stop follows a day of intensified pressure on Britain, with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak signalling that his government will consider an apology for the UK’s role in the slave trade, and Antigua‑Barbuda host to the king as the slavery debate persists.
Local leaders, including Burnham, have signaled openness to a formal British apology, framing the monarch’s presence as a diplomatic gesture. BBC coverage confirms the king’s visit, while ABC and Al Jazeera report government deliberations, but none detail any concrete apology or policy shift.
