For the second time in two months, a Royal visit intended to foster goodwill for the Queen in her Platinum Jubilee year has collided with the anger of people in the Caribbean about Britain’s historic connections with slavery.
Last month, Prince William and Kate had to alter their itinerary during a trip to former British colonies that was widely considered a PR disaster.But the head of Grenada’s reparations committee told us he is disappointed – because he wants to sit down with them to talk.
kemenzerem Despite my goal of helping to rid the UK of the Monarchy, I like these two they would make a much better King and Queen than anyone next in line.
kemenzerem ‘…postponed the Grenada leg of their latest tax-payer funded holiday’. There, fixed it for you 👍
kemenzerem National treasures.
kemenzerem The propagandatour should be thought of as the farewelltour All Caribbean countries will be republics soon.
kemenzerem The Caribbean leading the way in 'we don't want or need Royals'. Time to have that attitude in Britain.
kemenzerem Great! visit now and again for what , it’s embarrassing that this still happens today
kemenzerem Not wanted.
kemenzerem Outdated institution that's not wanted anymore.
kemenzerem Who?

kemenzerem Fair enough, having a staycation, everyone is feeling the cost of living pinch, though might be an idea to get a paid job.
kemenzerem Who honestly wants to have a visit from Edward? I’d rather have a visit from the clap doctor
