Prince William And Kate Middleton's Royal Caribbean Tour In Photos
Amid protests, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have embarked on an eight-day tour to Belize, the Bahamas, and Jamaica on behalf of Queen Elizabeth.
In celebration of Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee, Prince William and Duchess Kate have embarked on an eight-day royal tour that will take them through Belize, the Bahamas, and Jamaica.
The trip, which is the couple's first official joint overseas tour since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, has been marked by protests and growing criticism from locals throughout the Caribbean demanding slavery reparations and staging demonstrations against the royal family's history of colonisation. BAZAAR.com understands that the couple's tour hopes to serve as a "charm offensive" to win over residents across the Caribbean at a time when many are unsure about keeping a royal head of state.
