The queen's son and his wife have been accused of being 'tone deaf' after presenting the Saint Lucian prime minister with a signed photo on a recent visit.
"The very idea that theshould sally forth, in all their finery and jewels, to faraway lands to meet people they expect to bow and curtsey to them, or pay homage at the very least, is an increasing absurdity."
Prince Edward and Sophie, Countess of Wessex met with Prime Minister of Saint Lucia Philip J. Pierre during their tour of the Caribbean. Photographed in Sweden, June 19, 2010. And Prime Minister Pierre, photographed on April 22, 2022.Edward and Sophie Wessexes tour of the Caribbean, visiting Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Antigua and Barbuda, concludes on Thursday.
Originally, the couple's visit was to include a stop on the island of Grenada but a statement released by Buckingham Palace before the trip's commencement read:"In consultation with the Government of Grenada and on the advice of the Governor General, The Earl and Countess of Wessex's visit to Grenada has been postponed. The Earl and Countess hope to visit at a later date."
No further explanation for this"postponement" was given though it provoked a disappointed reaction from reparations activists on the island., Arley Gill, chairman of the Granada national reparations committee, commented that:"We wanted the royal couple to go back to the queen and to let her know that Grenada is owed reparations by her family and Great Britain. They need to be aware that we want reparations for all that they have done in the past.
