ZDF@zdf.social - Morgen wird König Charles III. gekrönt.
Lange galt er als tragische Figur und die Monarchie als Auslaufmodell. Nun wird Charles trotzdem viel Sympathie entgegengebracht. Wieso? #TerraXHistory

The first #TheContinent issue of 2023 has arrived, full of the usual fascinating insights + view from #Africa. This week also on the history of #Slavery in #Barbados + the charming #Drax family, who still own a #sugar plantation on the island, where an estimated 30,000 Africans died working as #slaves.
The main scion Richard Grosvenor Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax (sic) is a British Conservative MP (Harrow, Sandhurst, Coldstream guards) worth an estimated £180 million.
