Jamaica MP issues lengthy statement over claims she 'snubbed' Kate Middleton

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge continue their week-long royal tour of the Caribbean in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, slated to conclude on Saturday, March 26.

On the climax of Kate Middleton and Prince William‘s visit to Jamaica as part of Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee, the British royals dipped into the past. Prince William, 39, and Kate, 40, attended a special military parade for service members who recently completed the Caribbean Military Academy’s Officer Training Program. Prince William and Kate dressed in white for the occasion, with the Duke of Cambridge donning his formal military uniform. Together, they stood on the back of a dark green open-top Land Rover – the spitting image of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip when they visited Kingston, Jamaica, in November 1953.

Kate Middleton is clearly channeling her inner future queen in Jamaica! The 40-year-old Duchess of Cambridge continued to impress with her fashion while on a royal tour of the Caribbean with her husband, Prince William, on Wednesday. At a dinner hosted by the Governor General of Jamaica Patrick Allen in King's House, Kate wore a sparkling, off-the-shoulder kelly green Jenny Packham gown and emerald jewelry loaned to her from Queen Elizabeth II herself. Pinned to her dress were the Royal Family Order and the GCVO Star. William went for a traditional look in a black tuxedo. Amid ongoing protests surrounding the royals' visit and outspoken coalitions seeking to make Jamaica a republic and to remove the queen as the head of state, William gave a speech at the dinner, condemning Britain's role in slavery in Jamaica. «I strongly agree with my father, The Prince of Wales, who said in Barbados last year that the appalling atrocity of slavery forever stains our history,» William said of his father, Prince Charles.

The Duchess wore her hair in a stylish updo and kept her make-up simple, as part of a look that was very different to the trouser suit she wore to meet Jamaica’s prime minister elsewhere on the couple’s trip.
