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.

How about those thousand year old castles and cathedrals that the monarchy has lived in and still does?
A meaningless gesture by a meaningless person.
William’s mother Diana supposedly is descended from James II via an illegitimate line of ancestors.
Blacks in Europe and the USA generally live much better than blacks in Africa do. They BENEFITTED from the slave trade. Why are we apologizing to them? Shouldn’t they be thanking us for continuing to host them even in light of their relatively pitiful social metrics?
How ‘bout a list of the financiers of the Africa to the Americas slave trade.
Without financing, there would have been no trade.
good catch
Apologize for something done centuries ago; ignore the children being trafficked into slavery in the UK RIGHT NOW!. Inbred piece of garbage needs to keep his mouth shut until he does something to fix his problem now!
Madness!? Great Britain and the USA have done MORE to end slavery than any nations on EARTH!
The royals
Has Kamala expressed regret?
Most Brits weren’t slave owners or slave traders. Stop blaming all Britain, slave owner ancestor Will.
What a cuck
William’s mother Diana supposedly is descended from James II via an illegitimate line of ancestors.
Diana is descended from Charles II, the king who was restored to the throne and was something of a party guy with lots of children but not one legitimate kid who could inherit the throne. So the throne went to his younger brother James II instead. James was father to Mary and Anne who both became queen regnant but neither had surviving children.
I hate to think what the UK will become once the Queen is no longer on the throne.
What? The part where they led the world in abolishing it?
They foolishly believe groveling will save them.
William Wilberforce was British, right?
