King Charles faces 'biggest risk of his reign' on Caribbean tour

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMagazine calls it the biggest risk of his reign.

2. JO

   Julian Okonkwo-ReyesIt is a huge risk. I played a king once, in a school play, and I know the pressure.

3. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe historian Sir Anthony Seldon told the BBC it's the biggest risk so far, with much of it outside the King's control. Do you agree?

4. JO

   Julian Okonkwo-ReyesCompletely. My people tell me, and by people I mean Dennis, that the control is mostly outside, yes.

5. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSo tell us about Duchess Overboard.

6. JO

   Julian Okonkwo-ReyesIt's a courtroom drama set entirely on a ferry. I play the judge, the captain and, in flashbacks, the ferry.

7. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe ferry.

8. JO

   Julian Okonkwo-ReyesCritics call it brave. Nobody forced me. I chose it, and Priya only suggested it eleven times.

9. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe King will give three significant speeches, but he is following government advice not to issue an official apology for Britain's role in the slave trade.

10. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIs that brave?

11. JO

    Julian Okonkwo-ReyesVery brave. A man decides to follow advice. My people, Marcus this time, say that's the boldest thing there is.

12. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBut you didn't answer the question. Who is taking the risk if the government sets the line?

13. JO

    Julian Okonkwo-ReyesFine. Nobody I'm related to. I confess I've never been to the Caribbean. I looked at it on a calendar.

14. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Burnham administration, like those before it, will not pay reparations. The risk, it seems, sits with the one man who doesn't hold the pen.

15. JO

    Julian Okonkwo-ReyesThat's very sharp. I'm writing it down. Dennis, write that down.

16. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLightning round. A senior aide says the King will not shy away from the darkest days of the past. Yes or no, is that enough?

17. JO

    Julian Okonkwo-ReyesYes. No. Marcus says yes.

18. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWill there be protests?

19. JO

    Julian Okonkwo-ReyesThe BBC says protests are likely, so yes. I'd also protest the ferry.

20. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLast question. Who decides what you say as you leave this studio?

21. JO

    Julian Okonkwo-ReyesMe. Entirely me. I take no advice. Hold on, Priya, what do I say?

22. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorDuchess Overboard is in cinemas soon. The ferry has not yet commented.
