Buckingham Palace said that it is cooperating with an independent study exploring the relationship between the British monarchy and the slave trade in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The Palace said King Charles III takes the issue "profoundly seriously".
Buckingham Palace is granting researchers from the University of Manchester in the UK full access to the Royal Archives and the Royal Collection.
The study, a PhD project by historian Camilla de Koning, is expected to be completed in 2026.
