At the national commemoration of slavery’s abolition, King Willem-Alexander apologized for the inaction of the House of Orange-Nassau against slavery and asked forgiveness. The speech added a royal apology to the government’s 2022 apology. It was a symbolic and institutional act; it did not create individual compensation or a reparations settlement.
