## Summary

Queen Camilla joined King Charles in Antigua and Barbuda for a church service linked to the 2026 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM). The event called for unity, shared prosperity and a stronger voice for small states, as the royal tour faces sensitive discussions over Britain’s history of slavery and possible reparations.

Caribbean nations welcomed the UK’s offer of talks about a slavery apology, following Andy Burnham’s expression of sorrow and regret for the suffering caused by the slave trade. The service brought together Commonwealth representatives, local leaders and young flag-bearers representing its 56 member states; CHOGM is held every two years and this year’s theme is “Accelerating Partnerships and Investment for a Prosperous Commonwealth”.
