Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle’s trip to Jamaica has caused a stir. Not only did they cosy up to the Prime Minister who set out his country’s intention to ditch the monarchy, the glitzy red carpet appearance clashed recovery in hospital of both Princess Kate and King Charles.
But expert Russell Myers, who is the royal editor at The Mirror, revealed that the reason for the trip is actually quite simple and that the pair were “damned if they do, damned if they don’t.”
He said: “No one expected them to pitch up in Kingston, Jamaica, nice little holiday spot for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex but they were actually invited by the film premiered producers, the production team thought that they would be a fantastic addition for the premiere.”
Mr Myers said that the Sussexes had “set tongues wagging” as they were pictured with Prime Minister Andrew Holness and his wife Juliet who two years ago confronted Prince William and wife Princess Kate during their Caribbean trip telling them the country was ready to “move on”.
He said: “If you remember he was the man at the centre of the big scandal when the Prince and Princess of Wales went to Jamaica in 2022 when they will have been the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
“He basically said don’t get too comfortable here – this will be the last some members of the Royal Family come, whilst we’re still having a relationship before we become a republic.”
But added that “to be fair” to the couple, some people will be of the view that they’re entitled to go to events like this and “damned if they do, damned if they don’t.”
