He last night denied the rallies were inflammato­ry.

“No, these rallies are best thing we’ve done.’’ the PRINCE Charles will today tackle the “abject horror” of Britain’s role in slavery in an emotive speech in Ghana.

Although he will not make a full apology for what he describes as an “indelible stain”, he will not avoid Britain’s involvemen­t in the trade.

Charles and Camilla are on a four-day tour to strengthen trade relations with Ghana and support community projects. On the last leg of the visit, the Prince of Wales will speak at the Internatio­nal Conference Centre at the invitation of President Nana Akufo-Addo. While he will mainly use it to pay tribute to Ghana’s role in the Commonweal­th, Charles was keen to reference the historical slave trade and his country’s part in it and highlight Britain’s determinat­ion to tackle modern slavery.
