Whenever a scion of this Kraut Royal House says something dumb I always ask - Isn’t there a Plantagenet, a Stuart or some out-of-work Hapsburg or Hohenzollern out there that needs a job? Only requirements actually know some UK history and avoid saying stupid things in public.
Shiver me timbers, but that was mighty White of him.
Shut up, tool!
People need to grow the heck up, and quit blaming every damn thing on their life on something else. Take responsibility for yourself, and get your behind to work!
Far as I know.
Slavery was abolished in England in 1834. It is now 2022 and time to move on and take responsibility for your self. Stop being a “victim”
It was the norm in those days…very easy to do armchair remorse for something in which you had ZERO involvement…
is he going to hop into his time machine and go back and change things or is this just another modern-day pathetic virtue signal?
I was going to comment the same...I bet he doesn’t even know about the blockade and what was done.
He couldn’t do worse!
Personally I don’t give a rats ass about the slave trade or anything that happened centuries ago. Not mine or anyone else’s problem just the delusional psychologically disturbed left.
Britain likes to brag that they stopped slavery in 1807, but that’s when they stopped the slave trade. It was still legal to own slaves until 1833. But for all their bragging about abolishing slavery, they’ve never elected a Prime Minister of color.
This guy is descended through Mary Tudor. He might do.

Wonder how much of this is because of the Oprah interview?
I read somewhere that Diana was descended from Charles II through two different lines, and also from James II through an illegitimate line. People used to make the point that she had more English royal blood than her husband, and that because of her William will be the most English royal-blooded king to ascend to the throne in many generations.
Here’s a Plantagenet! Lives in Oz! A king from ‘down under’ might put a “kick” into the English Royalty\King biz!
Simon Abney-Hastings, 15th Earl of Loudoun
Who cares? Why does it matter? Nobody supports slavery today and nobody in the UK or America is alive today who held slaves!
Ok ok ok.....
I apologize for Eve eating that forbidden fruit..... All you real (or imagined) women agree with me, ok?
This is ridiculous. Put little George, then Charlotte and then Louis up to apologize too.....
This point of view lacks understanding. He's actually a pretty decent guy who was born into a very heavy obligation and is doing his best. He and his wife appear to have a good marriage, which is a good role model for their nation, and they have three children whose body language in photos always looks happy and affectionate, and whom they take care of a lot more than Elizabeth did with her children.William has also served as a search and rescue helicopter pilot, which carries a fair bit of risk, helping many people in distress.
None of us can know what it would be like to be born into a lifetime role of one of the top diplomats in the world, but that is his role, and he seems interested in peace and kindness.
He made the apology in response to the same sort of bellyaching by the equivalent of Al Sharpton(s) in Jamaica who complained to the media before he arrived, and also there were street demonstrations, probably paid for by George Soros, same as we have here and for the same reasons—to destabilze UK, US and all free nations.
The British Crown was not our cup of tea, but that was then and his is now; and now it remains one of the pillars of Western Civ and a U.S. ally, for as long as we all can hold out against the globalists. Jamaica probably receives foreign aid from UK just as the "clients" of the U.S. do. William was performing an act of diplomacy to try to assuage hurt feelings and avoid he breakout of "peaceful protests" that we saw here over the past couple of years.
William is not a muslim. Where did you get that idea? Did you see any photos or videos of their beautiful wedding at the altar in Westminster Cathedral? The sermon was one of the most beautiful wedding messages I’ve heard in years. Or how about the three christenings of their children in St George’s chapel at Windsor, or the many times Catheriine wears a cross necklace in public?
