UK royal visits around the world spark increase in ‘cynicism toward colonialism’

Each British royal visit around the globe in coming years is likely to spark “increasing cynicism” toward colonialism, Sky News host Caroline Di Russo says. “Harry and Meghan, on a visit to Jamaica were photographed with its Prime Minister Andrew Holness, who, in 2022, during William and Kate’s visit, told the visiting royals that Jamaica was ‘moving on’ and intended to become a republic,” Ms Di Russo said. “Whether there is anything instructive in the meeting between Harry and the Jamaican PM is up for debate. “Anyone aware of the background will find it at least a little bit curious. “Against that backdrop of increasing cynicism towards colonialism, each royal visit will have its own political sensitivities and perception challenges.”
