Royal Family news latest – William to make MAJOR apology in last-ditch attempt to save Queen’s legacy
PRINCE William is set to acknowledge the issue of slavery during his visit to the Caribbean to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
William and Kate were met with protestors on their arrival to Kingston, Jamaica, who denounced the royal visit and called for reparations for slavery and for the Queen to be removed as the country’s Head of State.
However, a royal source said the Duke was aware of the protests and was expected to acknowledge the issue of slavery in a speech tonight during a dinner hosted by the Governor-General of Jamaica.
Jamaican human rights activist Opal Adisa said: “Kate and William are beneficiaries, so they are, in fact, complicit because they are positioned to benefit specifically from our ancestors, and we’re not benefitting from our ancestors.”
Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess grinned with delight as they were coaxed into a “Cool Runnings” bobsleigh today.
The sled was the one used to race in the Winter Olympics in Beijing by the Jamaican team who had practiced during lockdown by pushing a Mini car.
