Britain’s Prince Charles expressed deep sorrow over slavery in a speech to Commonwealth leaders in Rwanda on Friday and acknowledged that the roots of the organisation lay in a painful period of history.

“I want to acknowledge that the roots of our contemporary association run deep into the most painful period of our history,” Charles told assembled Commonwealth leaders at the opening ceremony of a two-day summit in Kigali. Britain and other European nations enslaved more than 10 million Africans between the 15th and 19th centuries and transported them across the Atlantic to toil on plantations in the Caribbean and the Americas. Many died on the way.

The Commonwealth has not previously grappled publicly with the legacy of slavery. Some Caribbean ministers have called for it to be discussed, including the issue of reparations, which Charles did not mention.

Commonwealth : Prince Charles expresses sorrow over slavery in Commonwealth speechKIGALI, June 24 (Reuters) - Britain's Prince Charles expressed deep sorrow over slavery in a speech to Commonwealth leaders in Rwanda on Friday and acknowledged that the roots of the organisation lay in a painful period of history. I wonder what mummy thinks of his comments? Virtue signals based on applying modern standards to historical events is both time-wasting and misleading. That reparations are requested for such things is naked greed. It's disingenuous to express deep sorrow for Slavery without pronouncing on its close cousin, Racism.
