King Charles and Queen Camilla attended the 45th anniversary of Antigua and Barbuda's independence, where they were caught in a sudden downpour. The King, without an umbrella, asked, 'Where's the umbrella?' while the Queen was quickly provided with one. Despite the rain, the King continued with the parade and later joked, 'I've started growing watercress on my trousers.' The event also featured a meeting with cricket legend Sir Vivian Richards, who accepted an invitation to work on the King's Sustainable Markets Initiative.
The King's visit to Antigua and Barbuda is part of a nine-day tour of the Caribbean and South America. During the tour, he is expected to address the issue of the slave trade and its impact on the region. The King's Sustainable Markets Initiative, founded in 2020, aims to help the world transition to a sustainable future and is involved in several events during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
