Charles backs probe into UK monarchy’s slavery links FMTNews FMTWorld
LONDON: Britain’s King Charles III is supporting research into the historical links between the monarchy and the transatlantic slave trade, Buckingham Palace said today.
Charles’ 17th-century predecessor King James II was the largest investor in the Royal African Company, which became a brutal pioneer of the transatlantic slave trade. But there was no apology from the then-heir to the throne for the royal family’s involvement in the transportation and selling of people for profit.
James II, who was deposed in 1688, was not the only one of Charles’ forebears who was complicit in the slave trade.
