The King has begun a nine-day tour of the Caribbean, acknowledging what he described as the “suffering of the past” as he visits three countries in the region.
The tour will include stops in the Bahamas, Guyana and Antigua and Barbuda. It is centred on engagements across the three countries during the nine-day visit.
The King’s reference to past suffering comes as the tour begins, placing historical experiences among the issues addressed during the visit. No further details of the remarks or the specific events at which they were made have been provided.
The visit will continue with the King’s programme in the Bahamas, Guyana and Antigua and Barbuda. Further developments will depend on the engagements and statements made during the remainder of the tour.
