New research reveals King George IV profited from slavery in Grenada

Arley Gill, the head of the Grenada Reparations Commission said: “We always knew that the Royal Family directly profited from the Atlantic slave trade and slavery, but now that we know that the Royal Family directly profited from the state of Grenada, we renew our call, even stronger now, for the royal family to apologise and to pay reparations.”
King Charles expressed sorrow over slavery in a speech to Commonwealth leaders in 2022, and last year, amidst calls for discussions on reparations at the Commonwealth leaders’ summit, the monarch acknowledged the “painful aspects” of Britain’s past – but he did not directly address the thorny issue of reparations.
Gill said the people of Grenada are calling on Charles to go further than vague expressions of regret, and make a full apology “because blood is on the hands of the British royal family”.
“He is still the head of state of Grenada. And it will not be worthy of him to be the head of state of a country that he profited from in slavery and [for which he] failed to apologise and failed to make reparations. He will not be a worthy king,” Gill said. He argued the new revelations gave added urgency to efforts to remove the King as head of state in Grenada.
