King Charles Agrees To Investigation Into British Monarchy’s Ties To Slavery
The announcement from King Charles comes as the British monarchy has come under sustained criticism for its treatment of race in the UK. The death of Queen Elizabeth II last year opened up new scrutiny of the monarchy, as its history of colonialism and oppression became a topic of conversation. There have been widespread accusations and reports of racism coming from the royal family towards Meghan Markle, who married Charles’ younger son, Prince Harry, in 2018. Buckingham Palace has denied that it was racist towards Markle or that the royal family drove her and Prince Harry, Charles’ younger son, to relocate to the United States. Harry will reportedly attend his father’s official coronation ceremony, while Markle will stay in the US, a move that many interpret as reflecting continued tensions between her and the royals.
While Charles’s new willingness to confront his family’s racist past will not fix the monarchy’s image or mend the fractured royal family, it could symbolize a willingness to change. By moving from denial to acknowledgment, the British royal family can start to set a new course for itself when it comes to issues of race, discrimination and oppression.
