Kate smiled as she stood beside Kamina Johnson Smith, Jamaica’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Lisa Hanna (former Miss World) at the official welcome.  

However, Jamaican human rights advocate Opal Adisa organised a protest outside the premises hours before their arrival amid calls for the monarchy to pay reparations for slavery and human rights abuses. 

An open letter was written by The Advocates Network, a coalition of Jamaican musicians, politicians and business leaders. It outlines 60 reasons why Jamaican royalty should pay compensation to celebrate the country’s 60th Anniversary of Independence. 

Today, demonstrators were seen holding signs saying ‘Princesses or Princes belong in fairytales…not in Jamaica’ as well as ‘apologise while holding copies the open letter. 

Ms Adisa was a former professor now in her 60s and said that Kate and William are beneficiaries. This is because they can benefit from the ancestors’ ancestors specifically, but we are not.

“The lifestyle and luxury they had, and continue to enjoy, traveling the globe for no cost, is all a result my great-great grandmother and grandfather’s blood, sweat, and tears.

The monarchy must offer a ‘economic and social reparation,’ such as building us hospitals and providing college-level education for our children and equitable land distribution.

Ms. Adisa stated that an apology was the first step to healing and reconciliation.

“You know what? We don’t have any personal animosity for Kate or Prince William. Even the Queen. But we are simply saying that you did wrong. It is past time you admitted that you were wrong.

“The outrageous fact that the government spends money on security and financing for duke and duchess who are rich is criminal.

The Caribbean has become fed up and Belize is the next victim. “Enough is enough,” we are saying.

“Enough is enough. We must end this racism and discrimination.” 

On Tuesday the protest started before the arrival of the Cambridges in Jamaica. They will remain there until Thursday, when they leave for the Bahamas. 

The open letter, quoted by The Independent newspaper, says: ‘We note with great concern your visit to our country Jamaica, during a period when we are still in the throes of a global pandemic and bracing for the full impact of another global crisis associated with the Russian/Ukraine war.

“Many Jamaicans don’t know about your visit, as they try to deal with the terrible consequences of the Covid-19 epidemic. These are exacerbated by the preexisting economic and social hardships that were inherited from colonial times.

‘We also note that your visit is part of the celebrations to mark the 70th Anniversary (Platinum Jubilee) of the coronation of your grandmother – and the 60th Anniversary of Jamaica’s Independence. 

“We don’t see any reason to commemorate 70 years since the Ascension of Your Grandmother to the British Throne. We believe that her leadership and those of her predecessors have contributed to the worst human rights violations in human history.” 

Today, Beenie Man (real name Anthony Moses Davis) a dancehall singer said that Jamaicans don’t want Prince William visiting because they’re still controlled by the British and the royals ‘not doing any for us. 

ITV’s Good Morning Britain interviewed the Jamaican artist. He said that they are only here and controlled by British laws. When you enter the court it is all about Queen and Queen Serve and Queen This and That.

“But what are they doing to Jamaica?” They don’t do anything for us. They are not doing anything for us if Harry were coming. People will react differently if Harry is there. However, William isn’t going to be meeting Harry. 

Kate and William will arrive in Jamaica today on what is the next stop on their eight day tour of the Caribbean, and receive a official welcome into the country.

It is dangerous to become complacent, and assume democratic values will take care of themselves. It is important to protect them.

He added that his early morning speech contained the following: “Her Majesty stated that democracy can be protected by cooperation – each citizen pulling towards the same goal.”

“Sadly, this vigilance in other parts of the world is currently being tested in Ukraine. Belize joins many other countries in condemning this invasion and supporting the principles of international peace, security, and law.

“Today, we are thinking of the people in Ukraine who are suffering and stand in solidarity with them.”

In support of Ukraine, William, Prince of Wales, and Duchess Cornwall, have spoken out for the nation in the last weeks. This is after Russian troops invaded Ukraine almost four weeks ago.
