Must admit I was quite surprised by, soon to be crowned king, prince Charles' public recommendation to commission a formal investigation into the extent of the UK monarchy's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. It should therefore follow that cash reparation be the inviolable primary form of restitution given that those who benefited directly were incentivised singularly by monetary gain but callously unperturbed by the inhumanity of such an atrocious source of income. The slightest manoeuvre of filibustering/obfuscation will reveal just how disingenuous they really are -just like their hueless American cousins across the pound. Expectation is really low given the unresolved Windrush scandal to date.
Sooo, why is Charles suddenly open to such a gesture? WS never move unintentionally. Let's look at it politically.
Public support for preservation of this anachronistic privileged parasitic undemocratic establishment is waning - especially among the younger generation so he's cunningly shoring up the future/generational wealth for his immediate descendants.
It's also a bold and slithery move to mitigate the international ignominy of the racial rift between him and sons prince harry and his black wife and racist brother prince William and anorexic wife, Kate; furthermore, as newly incumbent head of the commonwealth, it's evident that this antiquated unilaterally subservient arrangement is disbanding as successive black countries sever ties making it a double stroke of damage limitation to save face as new king of their dominion.
His coronation is imminent so he's looking to garner as much support as possible so this would make coon Brits feel more inclusive and help public celebrations go smoothly as he's never been as popular as his reptilian looking mother who never apologised for her part in condoning slavery/subjugation.
If I've overlooked any other political aspects, feel free to state them 👍🏿
