Royals: Prime Minister hints at Prince William’s independence in Jamaica

Prince William and Duchess Kate visited a hospital in Jamaica on Wednesday. The Caribbean state is the second stop on her journey through the region on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s throne. In addition to the beautiful pictures associated with the journey, there are also problems. There are protests against the visit and demands for compensation for the British colonial era. In a meeting with Prince William, Jamaica’s Prime Minister Andrew Holness hinted that his country wanted to secede from the crown. “Jamaica is very free and liberal and the people are very expressive. And I’m sure yesterday you saw the spectrum of expression. There are issues here that you know are unresolved. But your presence gives us that opportunity to put these questions in context, bring them center stage and address them in the best way possible.As you can see, Jamaica is a country that is very proud of its history, very proud of what we have. And we move on.” Kate and William’s trip is seen by experts as an attempt to strengthen Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas’ ties to royalty. Four months ago, the Caribbean island of Barbados seceded from the British monarchy and became a republic.
