What the coverage shows
All six outlets focus on King Charles using strong language about slavery at the Commonwealth summit, with Reuters, CNN, BBC News and France 24 foregrounding his “horror” or “shameful chapter” phrasing. South China Morning Post is the only one to use “monstrous injustice” in the headline, while Newsweek alone highlights that Charles also mentioned the Royal Navy’s role in ending slavery. Only France 24’s extract and the South China Morning Post’s extract mention the UK apology angle, and both present it as part of the wider context rather than the main focus.
