Prince William attends the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit, in New York City, on September 19, 2023. His visit to New York prompted a heated debate about reparations on U.K. TV involving the president of Guyana.."It's an issue that they must be critically involved in and they must take concrete steps in order to bring some form of justice."
Ali then appeared live on the U.K. breakfast show on September 20 where he clashed with host Richard Madeley on the subject."You should be concerned and you should pay because you today still benefit from the greatest indignity to the human being and that is the slave trade. "During slavery, resources were used to build your country, build up your capacity. You were able to then become competitive, able to invest in mechanization and developing countries like ours were left behind, so you should be very concerned because you are prime beneficiaries of [the] exploits of slavery."
