WorldStudy finds Dutch royal house helped slave trade survive and profited from colonialism

A three-year Leiden University study commissioned by King Willem-Alexander found that the House of Orange-Nassau actively supported Dutch colonialism for centuries and shares responsibility for the survival of Dutch slavery and the slave trade. It also found that the royal family profited substantially from the colonial system, especially trade in the Dutch East Indies.
