King Charles III and slave plantations

According to documents recently unearthed in the archives of a British royal company, King Charles III's ancestor owned a slave plantation and kept at least 200 African slaves on his estate.These slaves were purchased from the Royal African Company (RAC) in 1686 A.D., a business established by members of the British royal family and merchants from London to pillage Africa's natural riches and engage in human trafficking.Desirée Baptiste, an author and researcher, discovered this while investigating the history of the Royal African Company (RAC) for connections between the Church of England and the slaveholders of Virginia. The royal family bought slaves from tobacco plantations in Virginia, America. Virginia is known for its notorious slave-owning history.There were barbaric rules to punish slaves for disobedience and prevent rebellion, such as flogging and amputation of limbs.For instance, if a slave told a lie, he or she would be whipped 39 times, and his or her ears would be nailed to a pole for half an hour and then cut off.According to historians, twelve British monarchs have actively promoted or benefited from slavery over the course of 270 years.The Windsors are one of several European royal dynasties with a dark history of slave ownership. Most Britons only know the royals, including Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III, and Princes William and Harry, by their first names since the Windsor family name is seldom used in official papers.Charles III is the successor to the Windsor throne, which is responsible for unspeakable atrocities and the abduction of nearly three million Africans
