Buckingham Palace has announced that King Charles has backed a university study into the ties between the British Monarchy and the slave trade of the 17th and 18th centuries.
King Charles III, who is tradition-bound to remain politically neutral as the United Kingdom’s head of state, has agreed to facilitate a study by the University of Manchester with Historic Royal Palaces to examine the Royal Family’s role in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.
Although virtually no one in modern-day Britain would argue in favour of slavery, the topic has become a hot-button issue following the resurgence of the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, with left-wing academics seizing upon historical grievances to attack Britain’s role in the world and prominent historical figures, while typically overlooking the fact that the country was the first in the world to abolish slavery and paid dearly in blood and treasure to stamp out the practice throughout the Western World.
