King Charles III has made the unprecedented call to authorize independent research into the British monarchy’s ties to slavery.
The move by Buckingham Palace reportedly marks the first time the crown has backed such an investigation, after centuries of keeping mum on their official dealings with the slave trade.
In a statement obtained by The Post, a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace said that the King takes this work “profoundly seriously,” repeating his message to Commonwealth leaders in Rwanda last year: “I cannot describe the depths of my personal sorrow at the suffering of so many, as I continue to deepen my own understanding of slavery’s enduring impact.”
