Campaigners for slavery reparations and scholars have criticised the British monarchy after King Charles posed with Caribbean officials at a London reception under a portrait of King George IV, who profited from enslaved labour on plantations in Grenada. The photo was shared across several Caribbean foreign ministries and a high commissioner. Critics have called for the monarchy to acknowledge its historical ties to slavery and issue a full apology and acknowledge the ways it profited. The criticism has led to calls for Caribbean representatives to educate themselves on the history of slavery.
