They invested in it, sanctioned it. The Royal African Company of England - 'shipped more enslaved African women, men, and children to the Americas than any other single institution during the entire period of the transatlantic slave trade
You may think this unfair on the current bunch, but the monarchy is always keen to stress bloodlines & their hereditary power. Some of that wealth and power is from slaving.
Unlike other institutions, there has been no apology or acknowledgement.

Princess Michael of Kent is the Racists's Racist.
She yelled at black diners in America to 'Go Back to the Colonies'.
Defending herself against accusations of racism she declared - "I'm not racist - I even pretended to be a half caste".

So then, a famiy, riddled with racism, who won't be told what to do , and are never challenged by a deferential press.
That's a LOT of racism for one family. Some of it very toxic and unpleasant indeed.

The fundamental fact is the royal family are all about discrimination.They discriminate in favour of one dull family.
No one who's black, asian, catholic, jewish, muslim or not called Windsor is going to ever be head of state in this country. It's illegal.
That's disgusting.

It's the very definition of institutional racism.
Fundamental change is needed.
