Descendants of British 'heirs of the slave trade' back reparations payments
Descendants of the Gladstone, Lascelles and Trevelyan families, who profited from the slave trade, have formed the Heirs of Slavery group and are paying voluntary reparations. The UK government rejects compensation demands, while Jamaica has filed a petition with the Privy Council. The issue may come up during King Charles III's Caribbean tour.
