Prince William, 39, and Duchess Kate, 40, had to face a lot of criticism over their trip to the Caribbean, which they did on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II (95) to mark the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne. In addition to euphoric themes, William and Kate also faced rejection in the former colonies, and there were frequent calls for apology and redress for injustices committed through slavery and oppression.
In addition, photos of the couple in the Jamaican capital of Kingston caused an uproar. Kate and William can be seen shaking hands through a wire fence.
Although the couple have always been in a good mood, criticism is said to have weighed heavily on William. He was even “crazy” behind the scenes. Now the Duke of Cambridge has made a surprising statement about his Caribbean trip on Instagram.

As such, these tours reaffirmed her desire to serve the peoples of the Commonwealth and to listen to communities around the world. He asserts that “whoever the Commonwealth chooses to lead his family in the future is none of my business,” adding: “What matters to us is the ability of the Commonwealth family to create a better future for the people who make up it, our creation and our commitment to help and support as much as possible.”
