King Charles MUST admit the British Crown military COMMITTED GENOCIDE. I always respected and admired King Charles, I am just a few years younger than he is BUT he really should admit the TRUTH that is was GENOCIDE committed by the British Crown's military Get real!

Ufff, again... Afua,... she just can't be fair with the Royal Family, except for Harry and Meghan, her favourite members!!! She's always critical to the limit with everyone and giving excuses for M&H. So disheartening. A Kenyan authority at an interview said that they recognize the terrible things done under British rule, that they appreciated the words of then Prince of Wales and now King Charles, and also said that people in Kenya also recognize the way the Kenyan authorities behaved when they took over, so he said there are things to learn from the past, but that the important thing is to look forward and work together. To build and not be a eternal victims. I really like this program but I'm beginning to feel that I will skip it when this lady is in the program...

I wish people wouldn’t make statements as if they’re fact. I’m not a fan of David Beckham, but he didn’t take the easy option when queuing to pay his respects to Queen Elizabeth. David and Victoria fell out with the Sharkles a while ago, because Megs allegedly wrongly accused Victoria of spreading stories about her, amongst other things. David Beckham is known the world over, so it just might be that he brings his popularity, and respect for the Royal Family, to the table, instead of this tit for tat nonsense.

The King and Queen both did an excellent job in Kenya. Very impressive. No apology is necessary.

Nothing to so with the Sussexes. David always flies the flag for the UK and is an openly proud Englishman.

The King can acknowledge the past (as he has). He shouldn't apologise, however, he can help each nation move forward and share hope and positivity, continuing with initiatives and charities like the Prince's Trust. Throwing money at a solution is only helpful to a point. Its not a long term solution.

Ugh. Afua is back this week- time to fast forward her parts. I’m sick off all the apologizing and reparations talk. How is this King Charles fault. Ridiculous victim mentality is strong nowadays

I remember David Beckham lined up for hours with other citizens to pay his respects to the late Queen Elizabeth. Much respect for that gesture.

These countries want an apology and more money! Therefore, they continue to look back instead of looking forward. The end is they just want more money!

David Beckham is British through and through and showed far more respect to HM Queen Elizabeth than her own grandson, David stood in line with everyone else just to pay his respects and IMO he deserves a knighthood for all he has done for football and to promote Britain around the world, far more than many others that have received Knighthoods in the past.

Whenever these people mention asking for an apology from the RF / Monarchy during royal tours or state visits, I've noticed they're not asking to hear the word 'sorry' alone. Sorry to them simply means 'reparation' which is all the money they're gunning after really😂. Yes, the past was abhorrent and every country & race (including Britain) have suffered a painful and abhorrent past, but King Charles is no way responsible for what happened. Listen to senator Olekina talk about how Britain left their land, and is in no way responsible for the state of how things are in Kenya today. The likes of him have moved forward and are not stuck in the past of what happened. Majority of Keyans don't hold this bitterness on behalf of dead Ancestors (they never met) and that Afua Hagan and the likes are trying to propagate as an issue.

I didn’t enjoy this week’s program. Why don’t other presenters call Afua out for being so bias.

You're correct of course. When was Afua last in an African country? She knows didely-squat about the continent. The many different cultures, beliefs, dialects and tribal affiliations that politicians use for their own ends and the reprehensible violence that results. She needs a good deal of education about slavery that is happening NOW in many African countries! It's been practised for centuries, as has female genital mutilation which is still maiming girls now. Instead of sitting around and spouting the usual rehearsed robotic rhetoric, how about she educates herself, gains first hand experience from actively participating in organisations and charities that care about African issues TODAY.

I think David Beckham will be knighted by the King!

The King nor anyone alive today should apologise.

We can’t change what happened in the past. As much as we find what was done in the past appalling, we are not responsible. Apologies today don’t go to those that suffered the wrath of slavery. Anything done today doesn’t take away the pain and suffering of the deceased slaves. Making monetary payments for crimes of the past isn’t going to help those that were slaves. I don’t agree with those wanting to profit from their ancestors suffering. I also don’t agree with removing statues of important figures in history because they or their family owned a slave. Near me people rallied to have the statue of Christopher Columbus removed from the park because he was a slave owner. So the city removed the vandalized statue. When does this end?

Thats not true the kings sons had a wonderful upbringing.

Under no circumstances should an apology given land definitely no reparations. Its history . These countries have benefited from foreign aid since gaining independence. .

Totally disagree with reparations speech

I have unsubscribed due to one of your contributors

As an American, I think slavery was as bad as anyone could get. At the time of slavery, there were many, many people and countries involved, including Africans enslaving and selling other Africans. No one would ever be able to apologize enough or even know where to begin with reparations. Probably no one alive today was involved in slavery, so it is not my fault or anyone else 's fault today. There were slaves in the Biblical times. As I understand it, the King is not supposed to get involved in political matters and slavery is a political matter that the GB government and other countries' governments need to address. If my ancestor killed someone, do I have to apologize to that person's family because of something that happened before I was born?
