Whoopi Goldberg Demands British Royal Family Apologise for Empire, SlaveryNathaniel Charles 25 Mar 2022
American chatshow host Whoopi Goldberg has called for the British royal family to apologise for the British Empire and its role in the slave trade.
Caryn Johnson, who uses the stage name Whoopi Goldberg, demanded the royals atone for historic British colonialism and accused Britain of running “ram shod [sic] over India for years.”
“Let us not forget when we talk about what needs to happen, all the folks that need to apologise,” Goldberg told the audience of The View.
Goldberg went on to incorrectly suggest that Prince Charles had previously apologised for slavery during his trip to Barbados in November 2021, claiming this was his way of “releasing the hold that Britain has” over Barbados.
However, while the Prince of Wales acknowledged “the appalling atrocity of slavery” he did not apologise for it, GB News reports — perhaps unsurprisingly, given he was born in 1948, well over 100 years after abolition.
The 66-year-old chatshow host’s comments come after Prince William and his wife faced protests calling for the removal of Queen Elizabeth II as Jamaica’s head of state during their visit to the island nation as part of a royal tour celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Protestors held provocative anti-royal signs including messages such as “Go back home”, “Princesses and Princes belong in fairytales… not in Jamaica”, “apologise”, and calls for reparations.
Members of the Caribbean island’s Rastafarian community also accused the royals of profiting from the “blood, tears and sweat” of Jamaican people — despite Britain having given Jamaica tens of millions of pounds worth of financial aid just since 2017.
