Memo to King Charles: if the Dutch king can apologise for slavery, why can’t you? | Raoul de Jong

Raoul de Jong addresses King Charles during his Caribbean tour, criticizing his decision not to formally apologize for Britain's role in the transatlantic slave trade. He contrasts this with King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, who apologized for the Dutch state's involvement in slavery. De Jong emphasizes the importance of acknowledging historical injustices for both descendants of enslaved people and the broader population. He reflects on the resilience of his ancestors and the significance of their survival, urging King Charles to recognize the truth of history and the impact of his actions on collective memory.
