Kate Middleton and William fly to the Caribbean

The Dukes of Cambridge William And Kate next month they will fly to ai Caribbean. This is not of course a second honeymoon, but their first official trip together (the prince has just been to Dubai alone, and next week the Duchess will be on a trip to Copenhagen without her husband) after the Covid-19 pandemic.

The dukes will visit the Bahamasthe Jamaica and the Belize on a 12 day tour that will be focused primarily on environmental issuesand among the stages in the program there is also Coral Vitaa coral reef research and defense center also referred to as a ‘coral farm’, in Freeport, Bahamas, which was one of the first winners of theEarthshot Prizethe prize awarded by the Royal Foundation of the same Dukes of Cambridge to those who propose solutions for the protection of the environment.

Behind the environmental issues, although so dear to the heir to the throne, which guide this tour, there is also a political reason. William’s job will be to persuade the three countries to do not follow Barbados on the path to independence: in 2020 a referendum had abolished the monarchy and on 30 November 2021 the small Caribbean nation, an English colony until 1966, became a republic. Soon after, also the Jamaican prime minister Andrew Holness had declared: “There is no doubt that Jamaica must become a republic”, while, just before that, the Prime Minister of Belize, John Bricenohe was not unbalanced either in one direction or in the other: “It is necessary to understand what is best for Belize,” he had glossed over.

In November, at the crucial moment of the handover in Barbados, it was Carlo who had left to represent His Majesty. Now, with the principles Harry And Andrew out of the game, it’s up to William and his wife strengthen the link between the former colonies and the Crown. “We love the Queen,” she told her to Daily Mail a source in Belize, “But the younger generations feel increasingly distant from the monarchy: that’s why the arrival of William and Kate can be a triumph.”

It is not yet known if the dukes will also take the children with them, George, Charlotte And Louisbut they certainly will have to bring freshness and new air to make it clear that even the monarchy could be modern and close to young people.
