Prince William and Kate Middleton arrived in Belize for the start of their eight-day royal tour, which set in motion the “colonialism” that forced them to change their plans.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have finally arrived in Belize to embark on an eight-day royal tour of Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas – all countries where the Queen is head of state to mark her Platinum anniversary.
Prince William and Kate Middleton got out of their jet on Saturday, despite an 11-hour flight.

The future King Prince William looked just as smart, in a light blue suit as he proudly stood next to his wife.
The couple sat on a united front after their tour was stopped by protesters. The duke and duchess were forced to change their plans after protesters claimed that their royal tour of the Caribbean was nothing more than a “battle in the face” and “colonialism”.
Prince William and Kate Middleton were to visit the Akte’iL Ha Kakao farm, on the grounds of the Maya mountains, but villages from Indian Creek – home to less than 1,000 people, voted against the royal visit.
According to the Daily Mail, residents said they had not been consulted about the royal visit and held a community meeting to discuss plans to land the Duke and Duchess’s helicopter on their land.

Kensington Palace has confirmed that alternative arrangements have been made due to “issues in the village”.
Instead, the couple went to Belize City to meet with Prime Minister Johnny Bricenco and his wife Rossana.
Touching on her first overseas tour since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, Prince William revealed: “It’s so nice to be here”.
The couple enjoy some child-free time during their eight-day trip, with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis back in England.
