What did Prince William say in his statement?
On March 27, 2022, William took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the Caribbean tour and the future of some former colonies in the area.
“Foreign tours are an opportunity to reflect,” he wrote. “You learn so much. What is on the minds of Prime Ministers. The hopes and ambitions of school children. The day-to-day challenges faced by families and communities.”
He continued, “I know that this tour has brought into even sharper focus questions about the past and the future. In Belize, Jamaica and The Bahamas, that future is for the people to decide upon. But we have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with communities in all three countries, understanding more about the issues that matter most to them.”
William also addressed the monarchy’s role in the future of these countries.
“Catherine and I are committed to service,” he said. “For us that’s not telling people what to do. It is about serving and supporting them in whatever way they think best, by using the platform we are lucky to have. It is why tours such as this reaffirm our desire to serve the people of the Commonwealth and to listen to communities around the world.”
“Who the Commonwealth chooses to lead its family in the future isn’t what is on my mind,” he added. “What matters to us is the potential the Commonwealth family has to create a better future for the people who form it, and our commitment to serve and support as best we can.”
Prince William reportedly threw shade at the Sussexes, body language expert says
According to body language expert Jesús Enrique Rosas (who is also known as The Body Language Guy), William might have thrown shade at Harry and Meghan when saying that “service” is not “telling people what to do.”
“Yes, not telling people what to do. Like, you know, Meghan calling U.S. senators on their personal numbers or Harry saying that if you are not happy with your job, you should quit,” Rosas said in a YouTube video.
The guru also referenced the claim Harry made that William and other royals are “trapped” in the institution: “Not to mention when William adds, ‘By using the platform we are lucky to have,’ because even being ‘trapped’ as working royals, it seems that this is a very nice platform to bring awareness into real-world affairs. Who could have known?”
Prince William and Kate Middleton are more popular than Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Despite some criticism the Prince and Princess of Wales received on the 2022 Caribbean tour, the couple is still more popular with the British public than Harry and Meghan.
According to research firm YouGov, William is in third place for popularity, while Kate is in fourth. At the same time, Harry is in 12th place, and Meghan is in 13th place. Among Millennials, Harry and Meghan are higher up on the list, but they still are not more popular than William and Kate.
