Prince Charles swerves demands to apologise for ‘assimilation and genocide’ at Canada’s indigenous boarding schools but 'acknowledges' dark past when confronted during royal reception in Ottawa

  • Charles was asked to apologise on behalf of the Queen, but refused to do so
  • 'Acknowledged' failures in relationship between Crown and indigenous people
  • It is latest colonial row to hit Royal family after Cambridges and Wessex tours
  • Prince Edward and Sophie's Royal Caribbean tour featured slavery criticism
  • And William and Kate faced protests and allegations of modern-day colonialism
