Dutch King Willem-Alexander on Saturday formally apologized as regent of the Netherlands for the country's involvement in slavery, saying he felt "personally and intensely" affected.
"Today I'm standing here in front of you as your king and as part of the government. Today I am apologizing myself," Willem-Alexander said to loud cheers at an event marking 150 years since slaves were freed in former colonies.
