查尔斯三世加勒比之行收官：王室高级助理称各王国若不再要君主，王室「完全开放、绝无困难」
安提瓜和巴布达圣约翰——英国国王查尔斯三世作为君主的首次加勒比之行11月4日结束。王室一名高级助理在行程收官时表示，白金汉宫对英联邦王国（realms）废除君主、改行共和制持「完全开放」态度：国王与王室成员只会在这些地区的人民愿意时为他们服务；若人民不再愿意，「我们真的完全开放」，可以找到新的安排，「这对我们绝无困难」。
查尔斯三世目前是英国以外14个英联邦王国的国家元首，其中7个在加勒比地区：安提瓜和巴布达、巴哈马、牙买加、格林纳达、圣基茨和尼维斯、圣卢西亚、圣文森特和格林纳丁斯。在其母亲伊丽莎白二世在位期间，共有17个王国转为共和制，但都留在英联邦内。这名助理以巴巴多斯2021年的转型为例，称那是一次成功的过渡，自己当时与巴巴多斯总理保持密切沟通，整个过程没有怨气。
此次为期九天的行程包括巴哈马、圭亚那与安提瓜和巴布达，压轴是安提瓜举行的英联邦政府首脑会议。行程期间，奴隶制赔偿的呼声与共和情绪一路相随：安提瓜和巴布达总理布朗（Gaston Browne）在国王抵达数小时后接受英国独立电视台采访时说：「我是共和派。如果问我个人看法，我希望安提瓜和巴布达成为共和国。」但他同时指出，改为共和须经修宪程序、最终由人民决定，该国宪法要求超过三分之二选民投票赞成。巴哈马总理戴维斯（Philip Davis）则表示自己对此「不置可否」，但若人民有此意愿，他持开放态度。
查尔斯三世在英联邦峰会开幕讲话中称跨大西洋奴隶贸易令他「心怀恐惧、灵魂深感悲痛」，但没有作出正式道歉，也未表态支持赔偿。英国首相伯纳姆在峰会前夕提出愿就奴隶制正式道歉举行会谈，在加勒比地区引发新一轮要求英国支付巨额赔偿的呼声，也使国王在君主制存废问题上的处境更为微妙。

As Charles's Caribbean Tour Ends, a Senior Palace Aide Says Realms That No Longer Want a Monarch Face 'Absolutely No Difficulty' From the Royal Family
St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda — King Charles III's first tour of the Caribbean as monarch ended on November 4. Speaking at the close of the tour, a senior royal aide said Buckingham Palace is 'fully open' to Commonwealth realms removing the King as head of state: the King and the royal family are there to serve the people of these regions for as long as they wish, but if they no longer wish it, 'we really are fully open to that' and a new arrangement can be found — 'we have absolutely no difficulty with that.'
Outside the United Kingdom, Charles is head of state of 14 Commonwealth realms, seven of them in the Caribbean: Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. During his mother Elizabeth II's reign, 17 realms became republics while remaining in the Commonwealth. The aide cited Barbados's 2021 transition as a successful example, saying he had been in close touch with the Barbadian prime minister as it went ahead and that it was done without rancour.
The nine-day tour took in the Bahamas, Guyana and Antigua and Barbuda, culminating in the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua. Calls for slavery reparations and republican sentiment followed the King throughout: within hours of his arrival, Antigua and Barbuda's prime minister, Gaston Browne, told ITV News: 'I am a republican. If you asked for my personal view, I would like to see Antigua and Barbuda become a republic.' Browne added that becoming a republic requires constitutional steps — Antigua's constitution requires more than two-thirds of voters to back the change — and that the decision ultimately rests with the people. Philip Davis, prime minister of the Bahamas, said he was 'agnostic' on the subject but open to losing the King as head of state if it was the will of his people.
In his speech opening the Commonwealth summit, Charles said the transatlantic slave trade fills his heart with horror and his soul with profound sorrow, but he issued no formal apology and did not endorse reparations. Prime Minister Andy Burnham's offer, on the eve of the summit, to hold talks over a formal apology for the slave trade triggered renewed demands across the Caribbean for Britain to pay billions in compensation, leaving the King walking a diplomatic tightrope over the monarchy's own future in the region.
