Antigua PM asks Wessexes to use ‘diplomatic influence’ in bid for reparations
The Earl of Wessex gave a nervous laugh after the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda urged him and Sophie to use their “diplomatic influence” to achieve “reparatory justice” for the island.
Edward joked that he had not been taking notes during Gaston Browne’s opening remarks so could not respond to all the points he had made.
The prime minister did not laugh at the comment.
It follows protests on the couple’s visit to St Vincent and the Grenadines on Saturday, where banners were held aloft saying “compensation now” and “Britain your debt is outstanding”.
Mr Browne also told the earl and countess it is the country’s wish to “one day become a republic”.
The prime minister’s remarks came at a meeting between Edward and Sophie, Mr Browne and his cabinet during their visit to the island on Monday.
The earl nervously laughed after being asked to give words in response to Mr Browne’s speech.
Despite stating the country would one day want to change position, the prime minister acknowledged that it is “not currently on the cards”.
