The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate, arrived in Belize in the past few hours for the first stop on a tour of the Caribbean that will see the royal couple also in Jamaica and the Bahamas. The trip is part of the activities of the year dedicated to the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II which marks the 70 years of the reign of the British sovereign, and is the first since the beginning of the pandemic. He gives it against the BBC.
However, the tour is also marked by protests, to the point that a stop at a cocoa plantation in an Indian village was removed from the program due to protests from residents.
The village of Indian Creek has long been in a dispute with the charitable organization ‘Flora and Fauna’ in which William is involved, over a disputed property. The residents then, as a symbolic gesture, opposed the helicopter landing on the soccer field of the village with the royals.
