King Charles has acknowledged the suffering caused by the transatlantic slave trade during his visit to the Bahamas, telling young people that some of the country's most joyful traditions emerged from a painful history.
But protesters are demanding reparations, and the King faces growing pressure to apologize for Britain's involvement in slavery ahead of next week's Commonwealth summit. Meanwhile, Prince Harry is pushing back against accusations that he deliberately overshadows major royal events. Sources close to the Sussexes say Harry and Meghan have cleared their public schedules during Charles's Caribbean tour to avoid competing for attention.
In an unexpected coincidence, King Charles's Highgrove shop and Meghan Markle's As Ever brand launched new crockery collections on the same day, adding another chapter to comparisons between the royal households.
And in The Independent, Tessa Dunlop argues that Prince William now holds the power in the Royal Family, leaving Harry increasingly dependent on his brother's willingness to consider reconciliation.
