“Although perhaps part of my role as Head of the Commonwealth is to provide an umbrella for you all.” King Charles with all the jokes today 😂
“During my visit here, it has been a great pleasure to meet so many Prime Ministers – almost as many as I’ve had at home!” The King, now on his fourth prime minister in four years, jokes about the revolving door at Downing Street at the CHOGM dinner attended by @andyburnham👇🏼

Mélanie Berger-Volle, who has died aged 105, was born into a working-class Jewish family in Vienna. After fleeing Austria when it was annexed by Nazi Germany, she became involved in resistance activities in France, narrowly avoiding transportation to Ravensbrück through a mixture of good luck and daring.

NEW: King Charles addresses CHOGM in Antigua, saying there is truth in the phrase “small island, big vibes”. He directly addresses Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade: • The King says “our history inspires us, can appall us, yet it can always teach us.” • He calls the transatlantic slave trade a “shameful chapter of history is one that fills my heart with horror and my soul with the most profound personal sorrow.” And that it “still cast a shadow over these [Caribbean] islands”. • King Charles then goes onto say “yet evil may not have the last word” and that we can “address wrongs of the past with action for the future”. • He winds down his remarks on Britain’s role in enslaving human beings by saying “we cannot command the winds, least of all where the winds of yesterday have delivered us - but we can choose how we set our sail.”

After his speech, Charles watched a cultural performance about the history of Antigua and Barbuda, which appeared to reference the slave trade and the impact on the island nations. “What happened in the darkness must come to the light,” was one of the performers’ lines.

“Our history inspires us, can appall us, yet it can always teach us. We cannot change the actions of those who came before us. We can, however, learn from the past. The transatlantic trade in enslaved persons still casts a shadow over these islands and…our Commonwealth.”
