One of King Charles' relatives is pushing for U.K. families that profited from slavery to make amends.
Descendants of some of Britain's wealthiest slaveowners are calling on the U.K. government to publicly apologize and atone for the country's historical links to slavery. Several British families are leading the campaign as part of a group called"The Heirs of Slavery," which is working to shine a light on this country's deep involvement in the slave trade.
CBS News met the Earl of Harewood, the British aristocrat who is the king's second cousin, at his ancestral home, Harewood House. The palatial estate, now open to the public for tours, was built entirely on the profits of the transatlantic slave trade. Harewood House is full of art that depicts the earl's aristocratic forebears who grew rich by owning sugar plantations in Jamaica and Barbados that exploited the labor of trafficked Africans.
"It's something that people have been very much in denial about — swept it under the carpet, pretended it hadn't happened," he told CBS News. He said he couldn't fully understand the denial by other families, but assumed it likely stems from a sense of guilt or shame.
