WASHINGTON - Prince Harry has praised King Willem-Alexander and Norwegian King Harald for recently speaking out about their countries' slavery past. Harry did this in a special broadcast on ABC channel on the occasion of his new book Spare . The British prince said they are "leading examples."

The Duke of Sussex made that statement when it came to the way the British press has treated him and his wife Meghan. He noted that monarchs in other countries have made strides in condemning such behavior. For example, Harry praised that King Willem-Alexander "recognized that slavery and colonialism played a role in shaping the country, and he has apologized for this."

Harry praised King Harald for speaking out against racism. He did this to defend his daughter Märtha Louise's relationship with Durek Verrett, an American shaman.

In his Christmas speech, Willem-Alexander followed the apologies Prime Minister Mark Rutte had previously offered on behalf of the government.
