Prince William and Kate Middleton, who have embarked on week-long royal tour to the Caribbeans, were handed crucial side mission by the Queen, according to a royal commentator.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, during the trip, will help the Royal Family's efforts to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee across the Commonwealth.
The royal couple, who landed in Belize on Sunday, reportedly had to cancel some of their plans because of protesters staging a demonstration against the royals.
The celebratory tour comes at a time when the United Kingdom faces increasing scrutiny from former colonies now feared to be considering independence from the Crown.
Speaking to True Royalty's The Royal Beat, Hello! Royal Editor Emily Nash said: "The official line is the Cambridges are going on tour to thank people for their support for the Queen over her 70-year reign.
"And they’ve always said any decision about becoming republics is for the people of whichever country it is. But it is a charm offensive, and it’s a way of re-establishing ties, particularly after this two-year hiatus in royal travel.”
Kate and William will stay in Belize for three days before moving on to Jamaica and the Bahamas. The duke and Duchess of Cambridge were scheduled to visit the Akte 'il Ha cacao farm in the Maya village of Indian Creek upon their arrival.
