The Commonwealth's indifference towards King Charles III's coronation.
The coronation of Charles III, the King of the 15 Commonwealth realms, including Jamaica, is being met with indifference and even opposition in many of these countries. Several Caribbean realms, including Barbados, have already cast off the monarchy and become republics, while others are considering doing the same. Calls for reparations for the slave trade and a reckoning for the legacies of British colonialism have gathered momentum in the Caribbean, fueled by the Black Lives Matter movement and a recent controversy over Britain’s mistreatment of migrants from the British West Indies.
