Kate Middleton and Prince William

Kate Middleton and Prince William’s week-long Caribbean tour has come to an end. The royal couple managed to visit Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas.

During their final days in the Bahamas, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge traveled to Abaco Island to watch local communities recover from the devastating 2019 hurricane that claimed dozens of lives. Before the islanders, Kate appeared in a shirt dress from Rixo. The look is completed with Castañer suede espadrilles and a pink Emmy London handbag.

Later, Kate and William visited the Grand Bahama Orphanage and met with representatives of the Coral Vita project, one of the winners of Prince William’s Earthshot Award. The couple got acquainted with innovative ideas for the restoration and protection of coral reefs.

On the evening of 26 March, the Dukes of Cambridge flew to London on RAF VIP Voyagers. Before leaving, they promised to return to the Bahamas on vacation with the kids.

II. Coinciding with the platinum anniversary celebrations of Elizabeth’s reign, the main purpose of the trip was to strengthen the monarchy’s ties with Commonwealth member states. However, this goal can hardly be said to have been achieved – from the very beginning of the tour, residents of the Caribbean countries met with Kate and William in protests against colonialism.

Shortly before returning to London, Prince William spoke at a reception given by the Governor-General of the Bahamas in Nassau. In his speech, he stated that he would support the decisions of Caribbean countries that want to cut the royal family’s ties with the British monarchy.
