Prince Harry had ‘ulterior motive’ behind controversial trip after William ’embarrassed’
A royal expert has weighed in on Harry’s recent trip to Jamaica, a Commonwealth country that previously made headlines when its prime minister notably “embarrassed” Prince William and Princess Kate.
Speaking to GB News, Charles Ray, former Royal correspondent for The Sun, criticised the timing of Harry’s visit amid discussions in Jamaica about potentially leaving the Commonwealth.
Ray remarked: “The point about Jamaica is it’s a bit of a controversial matter at the moment. The country is discussing splitting away from the Commonwealth.
“There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s entirely up to them, like other countries have done. But they have retained links [to the Commonwealth].”
He continued, highlighting the awkwardness of the situation: “Now, Harry turned up in Jamaica and had a chat with the Prime Minister who clearly embarrassed his brother when he visited there.
“And there was an ulterior motive from Harry. They went down on a Paramount jet, they were with Paramount executives. So there’s obviously something else going on there they want to develop.”
The Caribbean tour of Prince William and Princess Kate in 2022, intended to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and present a modern image of the Royal Family to the islands, was dubbed by many as the “perfect storm”.
