Prince William expressed his "profound sorrow" over slavery and Britain's role in it during a speech he delivered in Jamaica on Wednesday night.
"I want to express my profound sorrow. Slavery was abhorrent. And it should never have happened," the Duke of Cambridge said during a dinner hosted by the Governor General of Jamaica at King's House in Kingston, Jamaica.
"While the pain runs deep, Jamaica continues to forge its future with determination, courage and fortitude," William continued. "The strength and shared sense of purpose of the Jamaican people, represented in your flag and motto, celebrate an invincible spirit."
Prince William also repeated words his father Prince Charles used in a speech he made in Barbados last year in which he condemned "the appalling atrocity of slavery, which forever stains our history."
William, 39, said he "strongly" agreed with his father's words.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton made headlines for her glamorous look for the occasion. Kate stunned in an emerald green gown and wore her hair up in a braided updo. According to reports, she accessorized her look with emerald jewels provided by Queen Elizabeth.

That’s what he is apologizing for?
No offence, but it’s been 200 years. Get over it, already.
Why hasn’t any African leader done the same?
Just curious, what continent did the white slaves (stolen from Baltimore Ireland in 1631) get taken to again?
The British Navy did more to end the slave trade than any one else.
“How about the african tribes that sold their own people?”
They often snatched their merchandise from other tribes, especially if they didn’t have criminal members of their own tribe to sell to the slave traders.
Dumbass..Slavery was not invented by Britain.
They were one of the first countries to stop it.
Everything is better now.
Yeah Wills, you Brits also enslaved my Irish ancestors.
We’re over it now.
Move on and just stop with the annoying, dripping virtue signaling.
