As the King left the Bahamas on Thursday to fly to Guyana for the second leg of his Caribbean tour, his spokesman said the islands had "a special place in the King's heart."

The two day trip to the Bahamas saw the King meet young boxers, environmentalists and politicians. He also joined the dancing in a Junkanoo parade to celebrate island life.

他的发言人表示:“国王曾希望,此次访问能成为一个庆祝并重申巴哈马与英国现代伙伴关系的机会。同时以尊重的方式应对未来的共同挑战,并承认过去的巨大不公。”此次访问正值加勒比国家再次呼吁英国为其在奴隶贸易中的角色道歉并提供赔偿——即由那些从奴隶贸易中获利国家支付的补偿。
His spokesman said: "The King had hoped, the visit proved an opportunity to celebrate and reaffirm the modern partnership between The Bahamas and the UK. And to address the shared challenges of the future and also to acknowledge the great injustices of the past in a respectful way." The tour comes amidst renewed calls from Caribbean nations for Britain to apologise for its role in the slave trade and to offer reparations - compensation from those countries who profited from the trade in enslaved men and women.
国王在巴哈马的一些活动中出现了少数抗议者,活动人士举着写有“把欠我们的还给我们”的标语,但他们的出现并未扰乱活动。
A small number of protesters were at some of the King's engagements in the Bahamas, with campaigners holding signs saying "pay us what you owe us" but their presence did not disrupt events.
