Whenever people have asked for reparations, they’re told it was in the past and to get over it - and yet the enslavers were being “paid back” from public money in 2015. Disgusting.

British Royal family could never truly apologise to any African, Polynesian, Indigenous Indians of the Caribbean, and Africans in and out of Africa the damage done can never be paid.

My great grandfather, who is still alive and is 103 year old told me a story of how one day the british came into his town. They went through every house and got all the books and burned them. They broke down the school and arrested the teachers. And they left warning them that they aren't here to be educated, but to be slaves to the empire. He grew up illiterate and has never fully learned how to read and write. This was in India and it was the norm.

A couple of years ago, I found a title deed to my great great grandfather's land - signed by Queen Victoria as head of state of South Africa. It was mind bogling for me that she would have powers over a tiny village in South Africa.

I’m glad to see people standing up against this

"We killed, robbed and raped those people, sorry about that".... No recompense for the atrocities.

I wish people would wake up and know how history still impacts us all 🤦🏽‍♀️

what hates the most is that the descendants of slaves are still suffering but the descendants of colonizers are still profiting

I'm British and I've been saying for years to get rid of these ruthless people. Who gave them the right to govern over us. They have made slaves of all of us.

Im British and everything that was stolen should be returned it would be the least thing to do.

In Africa we are not mourning

Confiscate their stolen wealth and publicly shame them for holding on to it.

Stop telling the people what they already know and start cutting them reparation checks! ☝🏾🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Traumatic. History can't be erased by anyone but has to be recognised by ruling circle .

SMOKIN ON THAT ELIZABETH PACKKK

Isn’t it funny how Prince William says that “Slavery should never have happened...” but he wears a military badges as he says it. I’m sure they used to wear such uniforms during imperial days to show their militant and aggressive might towards the black peoples the British enslaved. Who gave them the earthly authority to even do that? They’re like bullies in the school playground who go around in gangs intimidating and threatening those around them to show their superiority and weaponry but deep down their scared of the ultimate Truth! Slavery destroyed families, cultures and communities and turned peoples lives upside down, it brought chaos and disorder and spread fear, and we should be grateful??? No! If there was any greater evil in the world before fascism it was the unjustified enslavement of the African.!

The, scriptures foretells us, that; "HE WHO LEADS, INTO CAPTIVITY SHALL GO INTO, CAPTIVITY "; might not seem likely to most but, as the sun rises every day it, will happen.

The British Monarchy trying to distance itself from slavery, would be like Santa 🎅 distancing himself from Christmas 🎄

No mention of what the British done to Ireland 🇮🇪 what a joke. Another cover up the total number of Irish laborers sent to Barbados is unknown, and estimates have been "highly contentious." While one historical source estimated that as many as 50,000 Irish people were transported to either Barbados or Virginia unwillingly during the 1650s . Ni is the last of a poor a result of a colonization

3:54- I feel bad how they pushed that baby to ironically present the gift of flowers!!!😔

By the way,the British queen is still the head or leader of the so-called Commonwealth Countries,a constant mental reminder that they are still subordinate to Britain. Colonialism has simply given way to neo_ colonialism. The chains of slavery have been broken off from the hands and feet, and placed on the minds and brains,making the modern day slavery worse than the first.

No apologies is required. Apologies can't erase the corruption and lies. The whole entire royal family need to be striped of everything and given back to Africa. That is the true justice. Apologies changes nothing. In reality the queen retain everything their ancestors and they them selves are part takers of.

Sad that someone who has lived off others people suffering & is so respected.

I'm here on the very Day the Queen Passed ....I need to see and here who she really was .

Commonwealth means" your wealth belongs to US and our wealth belongs to US. Simple and clear.

We dont need no dumb apologies we need compensation

Lizzys gone, babyyyy

How can just one family can hurt so many people in the world? That's just evil.

I've read so many Ungodly things about these people. I've even read they actually stole the lives of the real Royal family and are imposters.

People still have to understand it's not that long ago. It's still generational trauma. What I mean by that is the following: my father was from the windrush generation. He was working with his mother in the sugar can field for pence working in a shack. They came over here got nothing but racism; So much so, my dad mastered 3 martial arts to protect himself!( He taught me and brother some moves)He can't read or write that well because of racism. I had it the 90s my brother’s in the 80s.Our surnames are that of the plantation owners for christ sake! "But no, it happened in the past, get over it" People," my ancestry is that of the Romans that got enslaved". Oh please not the same thing.

What hurts the most is our ancestors will never receive justice and today we suffer from mental slavery

Long rest in hell the British monarchy.

We still living in slavery but a new form (Neo-Colonialism=new slavery). That's why the government can't stop racism and poverty etc.In the Caribbean the prime minister (slavemaster) works for the crown and that's why the Caribbean and other poor countries will never reach the development of the developed countries (Europe and U.S.A.) .

Words are not enough. Reparations are the action needed.

Monarchies should be demolished and people should demand that they are no longer under their reign. Take your countries back!!

Her Majesties Government needs to acknowledge the need for reparations to former colonies.

We have slavery today by companies running out of town and not paying their pension obligations---- a human tragedy!!!!

As a Canadian, I only hope I can see the ties with Britain and the royal family broken in my lifetime.

The Queen Elisabeth never apologized for the evil past of the British crown she is definitely NOT the defender of the faith...

Wonder if the Arab countries will be asked for reparations?

What these colonized countries really deserve is a clear statement acknowledging the atrocities of the East India Company. Most people, including British people are not aware of these atrocities.

To still pay the ancestors of the people who kidnapped and enslaved people up into 2015 for their losses is an atrocity.

Some good points have been made, but it is very toned down. Also, many atrocities in other countries, such as India and South Africa were not alluded to... I think this documentary needs a lot more parts! 🙏

Nice to see that some people positively move on but never forget history.

We must not stop demanding apologies, reparation & honouring of all the treatises they signed.

Its time for ALL AFRICAN nations to detatch themselves from crown nations & stop paying them the annual fees out of their budgets. The French president once said "France would be a dump without its colonies throughout the world"

I can't believe our Bahamians will forget about slavery

Taxpayers were still paying up to 2015?! That’s revolting! Omg!

I see many comments highlighting that slavery has happened and nothing can be done and at this point and time everyone must moved on, its all happened in the past. 1. Slavery wasn't not about physical dominance, it was about stripping the identity of those countries, as well as the wealth of its country. 2. Slavery hasn't stopped, in the contemporary world those countries are still grappling from the grip of its colonial masters. Humanitarian aid id pretended to be sent to Africa, the Africa with abundant gold reserves. 3. The coloniser nations are prospering on corrupt stolen loots of their ancestors. If they truly mean it that they do not support colonialism they should send back Gold and artifacts looted in Africa. And they won't send it back because Europe is barren and resource-less. The only Country that has resources is Russia and it is apparent during this Sanctions and what's interesting is that Russia never colonized a single state in Africa.

What did Queen Victoria do when over a million Irish died in the famine. absolutely nothing. Well done the people of the Caribbean👍

Slavery, Colonialism, etc has been around for CENTURIES. Many, many, many countries around the world are guilty of it, but all the attention goes to Britain. People LOVE cherry picking history don't they.

LONDON BRIDGE HAS FALLEN!

The blood of my ancestors will never go in vain. How can these people live with themselves? My Innocent ancestors were shipped from the shores of Africa, dislodged from their way of life, natural habitat, language and spirituality!! The royal family's conduct should be challenged and taken to the international court of justice.

PROUD OF MY BROTHAS AND SISTAS IN THOSE AFRICAN COUNTRIES ARE WAKING UP. THE ROYAL FAMILY SHOULD NOT BE CELEBRATED ON ANY LEVEL ESPECIALLY IN AFRICA , CARIBBEANS, ETC FOR THE ROLE THAT THE ROYAL FAMILY PLAYED IN SLAVERY. IT'S TIME 4 THEM TO PAY UP AND GET WHAT THEY DESERVE.

Slavery was a disgusting part of history. But nobody is talking about the Arabs who enslaved. Nobody is talking about the African kings who sold their fellow citizens into slavery. It is a vile part of our world history and it shouldn’t ever be forgotten, but people of today are not to blame.

Seeing all this has reminded of Princess Diana…poor woman, she has tried so hard to integrate those monsters…not only she failed, she ended up being murdered on top of it!!!

I truly wish no one had ever taken even one black out of Africa. Africa would today be a wonderful study in pure living with nature and how the people progressed without interference.

3:02 they converted us from our Hebrew customs and beliefs. This is how we went from the most holy people to the most looked down on. Gotta come out of this beastly mindset as a people.

Great segment Sky News 👌🏾 there's no denying the wicked history of the Royal Family

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” -George Orwell To understand the meaning of the quote search "Operation Legacy"

The Brits had quite a head start when it comes to industrial revolution, but Currently their motor industry is in shambles.

Elizabeth 1st is not the same family as the Windsors. They come from a different line.

and they wonder why we have no love for them, reparations now!!!!!!!!!

We still suffer from the effect of that brutal Evil system today and the perpetrators of evil will never apologise or acknowledge the evil they have Done to a nation and a continent but the truth is comming out at last

Over a thousand million went on that party for the queen who didn’t bother to turn up and her government

Thanks for all the non skippable 20 second+ ads (counted more than 5), they really made this video more enjoyable

We Africans will never forget We were treated like we are not humans

Here in New Zealand any one that works in Government, police, judiciary, military...etc, make their oath to Queen Elizabeth the second, the Queen of New Zealand, her heirs and successors. There is no entrenched constitution here, and sovereignty resides not in the people from where power is derived, but in the monarchy of which none of us are a part, and these oath takers make no oath to protect its people, but continue to rape and pillage for the "Crown" and the "Royal Family" in the form of a constitutional monarchy, democracy is nothing more than mob rule, and its that mob that make the rules. It is time we moved forward and cut the apron strings of the monarchy, they have stolen enough from indigenous peoples from around the globe, and continue to flaunt their genocidal theft in the form of "Royal Tours", their apologies mean nothing, especially when they still live off the massive fortune from the misfortune, genocide, theft and atrocities that were caused to millions of others in the name of their family that gets inherited by their heirs and successors, then so too should the consequences be inherited. Just my thoughts.

9:26 The British royal went to great lengths to find a black woman with African braided hair and an African print dress to accompany him. To try and show that the royals aren't racist, what a laugh 😄😄😄

Very interesting documentary which needs to be taught in all schools.

A question, at the time that Britain started slaving... who else in the world was doing it? and why arent they being scrutinised too?

No one should treat anyone badly in 2022 for how society was 500-600 years ago

Glad to see some proper journalism from a UK news station

All that talk. No measure of recompense offered. Hollow apologies while they're still living lavishly off of garnered wealth

im happy, people always want to hide behind the past yet what would have been done was truly terrible.

Keep your apology we need the money.

Everything that was stolen must be returned. Decolonization must occur in our lifetime. Equity, fairness, and justice must be established. Megan Markle case was also heartbreaking. She was clearly abused by her own family, and she was so sweet and kind and she's such a good mom it seems. Harry is a sweetheart as well. Just like his mom. A good man both protecting and standing by his baby-momma. True king energy.

No full apology and reparations, no true repentance. Which means no change in attitude.

This is why Megan Markle will never be accepted by the British Royalty and the people because of their history.

Absolutely 💃we are moving forward 🙏🏾 no more slavery it is abolished 🙏🏾

My grandmother told me that her father owned slaves…I was shocked… Her favorite phrase was “ god save the queen” mmmm

One of my ancestors around AD 300 was enslaved by the Romans. Just saying.

some people seem to forget that all 4 races delt in slavery

Ah, the good old days. I do long for the return of colonial rule. When Britain ruled the waves. It would be nice to see countries reverting to their previous names, like British India and British Egypt.

Ths royal family should be at the forefront of fight for improvement of black community status in US, and against racism...they appear to be too silent on those issues...they should create foundations against slavery and racism, acquire on their own and provide land for Black Americanto settle in Great Britain and in the US to compensate...

Neither the UK/Britain, nor Western Europe, nor the United States invented slavery. However, UK/Britain was the leader in eliminating slavery worldwide. Read Thomas Sowell’s history about global slavery. The Middle East and Asia had more African AND white European slaves. Slavery continues even today.

What a pity that Sky News UK isn't like the Australian version.

The Royals make me sick. Obscene wealth and influence built upon the misery of millions. Shut up, pay up and get lost.

Freedom must come with responsibility for self ..we must manage our own affairs with integrity and competence

Stand up. Keep your head up. Never give up.

They never say sorry, they never confess to those crimes.

They should be stripped of their assets and the money should be shared out between the families of people who were used as slaves. Criminals are stripped of their assets when they have made the money from immoral earnings. To be honest they should also be jailed, but at very least they should be made to live in council housing and work or claim benefits/ pensions.

They helped abolish slavery

There's a time when the monarchy and descendant of Europe will pay for their actions way back, that Time is coming

This video completely lacks context and nuance. It downplays Britain’s pivotal role in abolition.

Commonwealth is just another name for Empire. The Commonwealth Games used to be called The Empire Games, says it all.

Crazy viewing everything through the lens of race.this hole privilege thing is getting out of hand as well.

And don't forget there were black slave traders

The total family has to be dismantled? What gives a family the right to be held as superior over all? What attributes and qualities do they have that others don't? What contributions do they make to improve this world? Is it not obscene to have generational wealth gained from the exploitation of others? Do these people have any remorse or shame?

So let’s say several or even all of countries cut ties with the monarchy, then what? They’re economy booms, poverty starts to decline, crime decreases..??
