"Where is the hat?" Carlos III under the rain in Antigua

During the 45th independence anniversary of Antigua and Barbuda, King Charles III faced unexpected rain, humorously commenting on the situation. Prime Minister Gaston Browne expressed his desire for the country to become a republic and reiterated calls for reparations for slavery. Browne acknowledged the political challenges in the UK regarding reparations but emphasized their necessity to prevent future atrocities. The topic of slavery has been prominent during the King's Caribbean visit, with a speech recognizing the suffering caused by the slave trade. He is set to address Commonwealth leaders on November 3.
