Prince William and Kate on a week’s visit to Belize to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge landed in Belize on an RAF Voyager aircraft. This visit is a part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations of the Queen. Governor general Froya Tzalamthe welcomed them. The Duke inspected the guard of honor that the Belize Defence Force presented. They played military tunes. Earlier there were fears of cancellation of the visit. It seems a section of the locals did not like the idea of a helicopter landing on their football pitch. The plan was to visit a cacao farm in one of the villages. However, the visit did go through and the Royal guests visited a different chocolate farm.

This would be e weeklong tour of Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas. It would mark the first major overseas tour of William and Kate in over two years. The reason was the pandemic. The two of them had discussed the trip with the Queen. They would share her sentiments with the people of Belize.v
