The Royal Family is facing a demand to pay $200 billion in slavery reparations due to the UK’s role in the slave trade. A group of 15 Caribbean governments has unanimously agreed to raise the issue of slavery reparations at the upcoming British Commonwealth summit on October 21. King Charles of England and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer will come face to face with the demand for a $200 billion sterling reparations payment due to the UK’s role in the slave trade at the Commonwealth summit scheduled towards the end of this month. A group consisting of 15 Caribbean governments decided to address the issue of slavery reparations unanimously at the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting held in Samoa on October 21. The announcement came following Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley’s statement at the United Nations, asserting that reparations for slavery and colonialism should be part of a new “global reset.” Mottley is leading the charge from Caribbean countries, and she met with Prime Minister Starmer earlier this month ahead of the meeting with 56 participating countries. Estimates for the potential reparations bill for the British monarchy’s involvement in slavery range from $206 billion to $19 trillion. The British Commonwealth is a free association of sovereign states that choose to maintain friendship and practical cooperation ties, some of which include the United Kingdom and some of its former dependencies, and recognize the British monarchy as the symbolic head of their unity.
