Leaders of Bahamas, Jamaica and Belize present as duke says ‘we respect your decisions about your future’
The Duke of Cambridge has signalled any decision by Jamaica, Belize and the Bahamas to break away from the British monarchy and become republics will be supported with “pride and respect” by the UK.
William has visited the three nations during his Caribbean tour with Kate, and his comments will reverberate around the region where five other countries also have the Queen as the head of state.
