Watch live as King Charles III and Queen Camilla depart Samoa on Friday, 25 October, after a four-day visit.

The royal couple visited the Polynesian nation, which is hosting a major gathering of Commonwealth leaders, after their tour of Australia – the first by Charles after his coronation.

King Charles formally opened the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, which took place for the first time with him as its head.

His Majesty told world leaders the past cannot be changed, but nations can “commit” to “right inequalities that endure”, as momentum grew for a debate about slavery reparations.

The King used his first major speech as head of the “family of nations” to highlight how the “most painful aspects of our past continue to resonate” with the people of the Commonwealth.
