Kate Middleton and William will go to the Caribbean: here is the confirmation (and all the details)

It is confirmed: the first official trip abroad of the Dukes of Cambridge after the pandemic it will be ai Caribbean. As already leaked in recent weeks, the prince William and his wife Kate Middleton will represent the Crown in a tour that will touch the Belizethe Jamaica and the Bahamas and will start on Saturday 19 March to end on Sunday 26.

The travel programreleased today directly from Buckingham PalaceSara very intense: the first stop will be the Belizewhere William and Kate will visit “Maya archaeological sites, celebrate the rich culture of the Garifuna community and discover the country’s biodiversity.”

Then the dukes will move to Jamaicawhere, after formal institutional commitments with the armed forces, they will pay homage to the “fundamental legacy of Bob MarleyAnd to Jamaican music culture through the meeting with well-known and emerging musicians.

Finally destination Bahamaswhere waiting for them will not be beaches of very white and fine sand, but meetings with the inhabitants of the various islands and the parade of the Caribbean carnival Junkanoo.

Also confirmed on focus of the tour, which will focus primarily on environmental issuesbut that will not leave out the other themes dear to theirs Royal Foundationincluding mental health and the importance of early childhood care, topics that the Duchess also focused on during her recent trip to Copenhagen.

But what emerges most of all from the program is that Kate and William in the Caribbean – as far as possible, given the health situation – they will go on a journey “among the people”: they will meet the authorities, of course, but above all they will try to get in touch with the population, with young people and with families in particular, to show them a new face of the monarchy.

Although organized as part of the celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee of the Queen, in fact, this trip hides one political reason stronger: the work of the Dukes, who will represent Elizabeth II here, will persuade the three countries to do not follow Barbados on the road to independence which in 2021, after the referendum that had abolished the monarchy, became one republic. “We love the Queen,” she told her to Daily Mail a source in Belize, “But the younger generations feel increasingly distant from the monarchy.” But William And Kate they have the right one freshness and the right charm to bring young people back to the Crown. “They can be a triumph,” insiders reiterate Daily Mail.

The Cambridge will not be the only members of the Royal Family to hit the road this spring. Buckingham Palace has communicated, in fact, that they will also pack their bags Carlo and Camilla, who will go to the neighbor Republic of Ireland from 23 to 25 March, Edward and Sophie of Wessexexpected in Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, Saint Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines from 22 to 28 April, and the Princess Annawho will visit Papua New Guinea from 11 to 13 April.

Those who will stay at home, because they are busy with school, will be the little Cambridge: George, Charlotte And Louiswhich will once again have to postpone its debut in a royal tour.
