Art installation "Royal Slavery" by rachel.c.reid places a branding iron into a statue of Charles II in Soho Square, as a reminder of his role setting up the Royal African Company (RAC), which enslaved 150,000 men and women. Branding irons were used by the RAC to mark the enslaved as royal property.
