Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Jamaica’s PM tells Kate and William his country is ‘moving on’ | Monarchy | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Royal couple’s visit met with growing republican sentiment and pressure for reparations over slavery Quote Jamaica’s prime minister has told the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge that his country is “moving on” and intends to become a republic. The royals’ arrival in Jamaica on Tuesday coincided with a much-publicised demonstration urging the monarchy to pay reparations for slavery, and calls from politicians for the country to become a republic. The couple’s visit to Jamaica has given the nation the opportunity to address “unresolved” issues, the prime minister, Andrew Holness, told them. During an official welcome, Holness said: “There are issues here which are, as you would know, unresolved but your presence gives an opportunity for those issues to be placed in context, put front and centre and to be addressed in as best [a way] as we can. “Jamaica is as you would see a country that is very proud of our history and very proud of what we have achieved. We are moving on and we intend to attain in short order … our goals and fulfil our true ambitions as an independent, developed, prosperous country.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
