Why King Charles' Samoa speech sidesteps direct apology for Britain's slave trade history

LONDON, Oct 26 — Britain’s King Charles III this week told Commonwealth leaders in Samoa that “the most painful aspects of our past continue to resonate,” as calls for reparations and apologies over Britain’s role in the slave trade surfaced again.
This issue has become an ongoing challenge for the Royal Family, which frequently faces questions about its historical connections to slavery, particularly at forums such as the Commonwealth summit.
“None of us can change the past,” […]

‘A stay at a resort filled with alpacas graced by Princess Diana left me unsure if I was dreaming’

I often have dreams so amazing and lifelike that waking up in the humdrum world of reality is a massive disappointment.
Get-togethers with long-gone family or friends, jamming with Dave Davies from The Kinks, and walking naked through the Gobi desert with… well, let’s not go there… These are among the fantasies to have occupied my nocturnal imagination.
But when I awoke in a luxury chalet with stunning views over snow-covered Austrian mountains, a 14m swimming pool, sauna, steam room, […]
