The Guardian want to destroy King Charles and everything that makes Britain great, says Dan Wootton

Today, Charles officially came out in support of a Guardian-backed project investigating the monarchy’s historical links with transatlantic slavery.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said:

“This is an issue that His Majesty takes profoundly seriously…”

Before adding: “That process has continued with vigour and determination since His Majesty’s accession…as part of that drive, the royal household is supporting this research through access to the royal collection and the royal archives.”

That follows this statement Charles made to the Commonwealth heads of government reception in Rwanda last year…

Now that sentiment might be right.

But King Charles needs to wise up to nefarious forces behind this campaign who want nothing less than the Royal Family and the United Kingdom itself to be made bankrupt via historic reparations for the sins of our fathers centuries ago.

Today’s bombshell statement was prompted by The Guardian being handed a document showing a transfer of £1,000 of shares in the slave-trading Royal African Company in 1689 from Edward Colston to King William III.

That document was discovered by Dr Brooke Newman, a historian at Virginia Commonwealth University, who is currently writing a book called The Queen’s Silence, expected to be highly critical of Charles’ late mother.

And here’s the key line from The Guardian’s report on the matter…

She was commissioned as a consultant by the Guardian’s Cotton Capital project, which has investigated this newspaper’s links to the enslavement of African people.

So, just as I predicted, The Guardian’s self-flagellation last month over its own slave links…

…which resulted in a pathetic 10 million pound payment over a decade was part of a much wider project: To bring the reparation debate to the fore in other British organisations, including the Royal Family

Dr Newman has today told The Guardian her research shows “clear evidence” of the British monarchy’s central involvement in the slave trade in the procurement of its modern day wealth.

She said…

“There is no doubt that the centuries of investment in African slavery, and the slave trade, contributed hugely to building the status, prestige and fortune of today’s royal family.”

There’s no mention of Britain being the first in the world to ban slavery, of course.

And the real intentions of Dr Newman could not be clearer.

A rabid anti-monarchist, she claims 'everyone in Britain' has benefitted from the slave trade. Her work as a historian has been dedicated to destroying the Windsors.

Indeed, one of her many incendiary articles, headlined 'Throne of Blood', was posted on the BLM UK website, and featured one of her countless demands for slavery reparations from the royal family. A crystal-clear vision into her destructive world view.

Mere hours after the late Queen had died, Newman was spouting republican bile about Her Majesty, criticising people for "fawning" over our greatest ever monarch before insisting she wasn't "universally beloved" and questioning her legacy because she failed to apologise for her ancestors' role in slavery.

Oh, and guess what? She's a fully paid member of the Sussex squad, towing the tired line that Meghan was a victim of racism in Britain and accusing the late Queen of 'letting her down.'

The American academic's mission to destroy the monarchy led her to work as a historical consultant with British-born comedian John Oliver in November 2022 - helping the leftie liberal presenter script republican attack lines like this.

Dr Newman even predicted that Charles' reign would herald the end of the Commonwealth and the monarchy as we know it.

And that’s why the King has to be so careful here.

Because if he accepts The Guardian’s narrative, the drumbeat and demands for reparations from what the hard left around the world continue to see as the walking talking representation of colonialism – the British Royal Family – might become too loud to ignore.

And who suffers then?

Is Charles really going to give up Buckingham Palace, Balmoral, Sandringham, his helicopters, staff, and Duchy of Cornwall profits?
