William Kate, Duke of Cambridge, began their 8-day trip abroad according to the schedule, and in 8 days they will represent Queen Elizabeth II in three countries in the Caribbean to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee of the 70th anniversary of the Queen's succession.
According to the itinerary, the couple will take the lead in Belize, where they will stay for three days before heading to Jamaica and the Bahamas, and after arriving in Belize, they will visit a cocoa farm in indian Creek Maya village in the Toledo region the next morning and experience the local customs, but unexpectedly, the local villagers do not welcome their arrival, and even directly refuse to let them set foot in the village's territory.
The village's leader, Sebastian Shol, said publicly in an interview that William Kate could land anywhere in the country except their land.
The ostracism of the local population was also fierce, and the day before William Kate arrived in Belize, dozens of villagers in the village spontaneously organized a protest march, in which someone pointed out in an interview that they were very unhappy that the British royal family and Belize had not consulted their opinions before formulating the trip, stressing that it was their land and that no one could set foot on it at will.
Since this incident occurred after a certain country decided to sever ties with the British monarchy, it was feared that this was another public provocation to the authority of the British royal family, but it is worth mentioning that the local villagers rejected not the entire royal family, but only Prince William, Duke of Cambridge.
The reason why local people are so resistant to William Kate's visit is reportedly that their tribe is currently fighting against the Flora and Fauna International (FFI), which has built houses in the PR field near their village, which has caused friction between locals and the FFI about the ownership of these properties, and Prince William is the royal patron of the FFI.
It can be seen from this that the local people have a really strong sense of territory, for security reasons, the Williams had to cancel the trip, and Belizean officials also temporarily changed the new place for them to visit, which may be a big blow to William Kate, who has always been popular with the outside world.
From an objective point of view, the responsibility for triggering this incident lies mainly with the negligence of Belizen officials, no matter how popular the royals are, they should take the lead in communicating with the local people when formulating the itinerary of the two, if the mission is not carried out by the Williams, but the Prince of Wales Charles or the Royal Princess Anne, these straightforward members, this is likely to directly affect the relationship between Belize and the British royal family.
In addition to the Dukes and Princesses of Cambridge, including Prince Charles, Duchess Camilla of Cornwall, Princess Anne, and The Earl of Wessex couple Edward Sophie will also begin to represent the Queen in their visits to commonwealth countries, and before the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations begin in June, the 7 serving royals will complete their visits to a total of 54 countries, but due to changes in the times, some countries have lost respect and interest in the monarchy. So in the next two months or so we may see more surprises.
