LONDON — King Charles held a reception at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the start of the arrival of the ‘Windrush generation’ of post-war migrants to Britain from the Caribbean. The Empire Windrush ship docked in London in June 1948, bringing the first of hundreds of thousands of people who moved to Britain over a 23-year period to help rebuild the country following World War Two.At the reception, Charles and his wife Queen Camilla were due to unveil 10 portraits of ‘Windrush elders’ which he commissioned last year.
In 2018, Britain apologized for its “appalling” handling of the Windrush generation, after a tightening of immigration policy meant thousands were denied basic rights despite having lived in Britain for decades, and dozens were wrongly deported.
