Royal Family

A monarch has only ever made one state visit to China: Queen Elizabeth II four decades ago. King Charles III would consider undertaking the second, according to an aide.

The father of Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, was arrested on a charge of keeping child sex abuse material in storage units in California, authorities said.

King Charles is “a secret weapon” being increasingly thrust by the British government into dealing with challenging political situations, a senior royal aide has said following a diplomatically challenging trip by the monarch to the Caribbean.

Renae Plant and her husband Livinio Stuyck were about to become restaurant investors.

The former Prince Andrew has been called to testify as a witness in a civil fraud trial, marking what is believed to be the first time in more than 150 years that a member of the royal family has received a witness summons, British media reported on Wednesday.

King Charles III called the transatlantic slave trade “a monstrous injustice” Tuesday, opening a Commonwealth summit in which U.K. leader Andy Burnham is holding talks about apologizing for Britain’s role in slavery.

King Charles told Commonwealth leaders on Tuesday his greater understanding of the horrors of slavery had made him more determined to address past wrongs, but they needed to look to the future and ensure “evil need not have the last word.”

King Charles flung up his hands in despair as he was caught in a tropical rainstorm in Antigua, while his wife Queen Camilla strolled off with the only available umbrella.

King Charles III will confront “shameful aspects” of U.K. history with “unflinching honesty” when he addresses Commonwealth leaders next week, Buckingham Palace said Saturday, amid renewed scrutiny of Britain’s role in historical transatlantic slavery.

British police said on Thursday they would refer allegations about the father of Meghan, Prince Harry’s wife, to overseas law enforcement agencies.

Police in Scotland have opened an investigation into the time the former Prince Andrew spent with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, at the king’s Balmoral estate, authorities said Friday.

King Charles III arrived Thursday in Guyana, a former British colony that was the site of one of the biggest slave revolts in the Caribbean during the colonial era.

As King Charles III tours the Bahamas, Guyana and Antigua and Barbuda over the next nine days he will be repeatedly reminded that he is the inheritor of a throne that presided over the enslavement of millions of Africans who were shipped to the Caribbean and North America, where they worked for the profit of their owners and, ultimately, the British Empire.

King Charles III will begin a tour of the Caribbean on Tuesday as pressure mounts on Britain to apologize and pay reparations for its role in the slave trade.
