The newly restored Charence House must be interesting. In the days when Nelson and his good friend Prince William, Duke of Clarence were serving in the Royal Navy these islands were known for Yellow Fever which carried off many sailors. Nelson unfortunately regarded the Caribbean islands as hell holes in spite of the fantastic scenery.
Glad to see you've managed to get out of the bathroom in Harry's personal suite and are seeing something of the surroundings, eya!

It sounds delicious, though I'm not really fond of ginger in drinks. It would probably give you a sore head if you have too many, and you don't want to miss the plane going on to the next part of the tour.

I guess you have to expect this sort of thing. Comes with being royal.

The Not My Prince campaign has utilised the hashtag #NotMyPrince in a nod to the Not My President campaign against Donald Trump in America. The campaign defines itself as an “anti-colonial welcoming committee for Prince Harry” which wants to “resist colonisation of the mind”.
“Prince Harry brings the combined mystique of whiteness, celebrity, power and wealth; in return he is greeted with the usual pomp and circumstance. He will be feted with military parades and cultural performances,” a post on the campaign’s Tumblr read.

Great photos aren't they and Harry looks as if he's enjoying himself. I think royals are often confronted by masks and photos of themselves, which must be a bizarre experience. T shirts are something else though!

The #NotMyPrince crowd have an opinion piece in The Guardian with the title:
"Welcome to the Caribbean, Prince Harry. Will you dare speak out about slavery?"
They even managed to tie in Meghan Markle.
It's not Harry's place to speak on this though. Too much of a political football.

No matter what some dissidents believe and want to bring to the forefront of the focus on Harry's visit to the Carribean, Harry is sure to top it by just being himself. I just came across this on my Twitter feed from Richard Palmer and if it doesn't warm your heart and make you smile, nothing else will.

The Antigua Observer reported that they believe that 35 to 40 international media representatives were at Antigua airport to welcome the Prince and could follow Harry through his visit to Antigua, giving the island a spike in international recognition.
Media Laiison Officer for Government House, Jacquie Browne told the Observer that 17 foreign news groups were present. Names mentioned in the article included US Reuters, Thompson Reuters, NBC, ABC, Vantage News, Hussain Gallery, Channel Five, and British based The Express, British Press Association (UK) The Telegraph, the DM, the Daily Mirror and The Sun.

A lovely gesture by Harry to lie down and give a severely disabled girl a hug, and good on Richard Palmer for Tweeting it. Thanks for posting this Osipi.
Harry was a hit with the West Indian cricketers!

Richard Palmer has tweeted that Harry went Beetroot red when the Antiguan PM Mr Browne said at the evening official dinner that he believed that a new princess can be expected and invited Harry and his bride to honeymoon on Antigua! Sometimes local politicians don't have a filter between brain and mouth! However, I'm sure Harry will get over it, and probably laughed it off in private. The PM was only trying to be nice, but discreet he was not!

This is what the press was hoping for.
Quote:
In front of over 300 guests, the Prime Minister, Gaston Browne, made Harry grimace and look at his feet as he told the audience: "I believe we are expecting a new Princess soon.
"I want you to know that you are very welcome to come on your honeymoon here."
Harry fiddled with his shirt to avoid eye contact as the PM spoke.
But he was further embarrassed when Mr Browne teased him again just as he was due to meet six of the country's beauty queens. "Whatever is done here, stays here. So do not worry," he joked.

Of course the media are delighted, it gives a headline. Nevertheless, Faux pas or no, I'm sure Harry got over it! The PM was just trying to be nice, even if his mouth was running away from his brain.

Well, Harry's not responsible for jokey local politicians. I still think the PM meant no harm. I think it's quite amusing, but Harry will get over this little faux pas by the PM.
It's hardly an international diplomatic incident of monumental proportions, is it? If that's the worst he faces the rest of the tour will be a doddle.

I think Harry understood the little joke. He's a prankster himself you know.

I'm sure that any embarrassment on either the PM's side or Harry's will pass and it'll be as the Windsors's love to say "keep calm and carry on".
It has to be frustrating for Harry (and Meghan too) that just because these two people decided that they enjoy being with each other that their relationship has gone so viral and the only place they can most likely get away from and out of the public eye it would be a trip to the space station.
