Prince William and Kate Middleton paid an eight-day visit to the Caribbean, marking the Plateau Jubilee for Queen Elizabeth’s reign. The controversial visit was accompanied by quite a bit of public criticism and widespread demonstrations in the country, and now the network is in turmoil over the problematic images from the two’s visit to the country.
William and Kate came to visit accompanied by heavy security, and “won” traditional receptions. William and Kate marched in front of a crowd of children standing behind a metal fence. The harsh images, it must be said, are reminiscent of ugly moments in the history of the British nation, which has maintained an extensive slave array in Jamaica over the centuries.

That racism is paramount.”
