Antigua and Barbuda should “one day become a republic”, its prime minister has told the Earl and Countess of Wessex during their Caribbean tour.
Gaston Browne said during a meeting with the royal couple, who are touring the region to mark the Platinum Jubilee, it was the country’s wish to remove the Queen as head of state.
However, Browne acknowledged such a move is “not on the cards” currently.
He also called for “reparatory justice” to compensate for slavery.
The earl and countess met Browne and his cabinet at a meeting on Monday during the third leg of their Caribbean tour.
The prime minister also called on the earl and countess to use their “diplomatic influence” to help the country receive “reparatory justice”.
