A US talk show host has slammed the "pomp and circumstance" of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee saying she is not as "enamoured" with the Royal Family as it was "built on the backs and the souls of slaves".
Sonny Hostin talked about the UK's celebrations, which are taking place this weekend, during a debate on The View and said learning the history of the monarchy has changed her view on the royal household.
The British Royal Family was involved in the transportation and selling of people for profit for centuries with Elizabeth I involved in lucrative dealings of John Hawkins, one of Britain’s first slave traders in the 16th century.
