Front page of The Continent with a caricature of Charles wearing a king’s crown and a royal jacket of medals. The adornments on his chest are labelled colonialism, slavery, divide and conquer, and religious intolerance.

”By donning a second-hand hat, a 74-year-old man is about to become monarch of a small island kingdom”
As expected, the best reporting on today’s coronation comes from @thecontinent
While many mentioned atrocities are well-known, this part of erased African history is rarely talked about:
”While England has records of who lived in what village in 1068, its empire was quick to destroy the histories of those it colonised. These could then be overwritten with Protestant orthodoxy and white exceptionalism, banning things like queer love, once part of Africas cultural fabric.”
