King Charles Dances and Tries Rum
King Charles is on a trip to the Caribbean. In the Bahamas, he danced at a street party. He also met young boxers. He got a funny T-shirt of himself with a crown. Then he flew to Guyana. At a party there, he got a bottle of special rum. He tried it and said, "Very good!"
The visit celebrates 60 years of friendship between Britain and Guyana. Guyana found oil in 2015. Now its economy is growing very fast. Much of the country is rainforest, and the King helps to protect it. Some Caribbean leaders want Britain to pay for its part in the slave trade. Guyana's president is one of them.
Music is also part of the trip. Musicians from Scotland played with local drummers at the party. Next, the King will go to Antigua and Barbuda. There, he will open a big meeting of leaders.
