King Charles III for the first time has signaled support for research into the British monarchy's ties to slavery after a document showed an ancestor with shares in a slave-trading company, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said Thursday.
Charles takes the issue “profoundly seriously” and academics will be given access to the royal collection and archives, the palace said.
The newspaper reported on the document as part of a series of stories on royal wealth and finances, as well as the monarchy's connection to slavery. Charles and his eldest son, Prince William, have expressed their sorrow over slavery but haven't acknowledged the crown's connections to the trade.
