King calls slave trade a 'shameful chapter' during Commonwealth address
The speech comes after calls for the UK government to issue a formal apology for Britain's historic role in the trade.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Charles describing Britain’s role in the slave trade as shameful during the Commonwealth address. The BBC adds only that the speech follows calls for the UK government to issue a formal apology. The Guardian US alone says the address opened the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua and frames the coverage around the king stopping short of an apology.
