King Charles III has backed new research into the royal family’s historical links to transatlantic slavery, reportedly marking the first time Buckingham Palace has publicly stated its support for an investigation into the royal family’s history with colonialism.
In a new report from The Guardian, Buckingham Palace has said it is aiding an independent research project co-sponsored by Historic Royal Palaces (HRP) into the monarchy’s involvement in the slave trade. In doing so, the Palace will grant researchers full access to the Royal Archives and the Royal Collection.
