The tweet begins 'Very interesting' - that's a bit of a dramatic stretch.....
 You’d think to see this that the protest is a massive deal. It’s a small village which has a right to protest something specific to them. Belize is an independent country which chooses to have Queen Elizabeth as their monarch and be part of the Commonwealth and by all accounts are proud of it. If it turns out the majority population of Belize also protest their visit, which I doubt, then they are free to become a Republic. A Commonwealth country is free to leave it at any time, it is totally voluntary. |

[Indian Creek is in dispute with Flora and Fauna International (FFI), a conservation group which lists Prince William as a patron. FFI has property near the village's communal land, which has caused tensions over ownership rights, according to local residents who spoke with Reuters.]
Daily Mail This dispute involves a small village of less than 1,000 people. A group of local people don’t want the visit, so Wills and Kate are respecting their wishes and will give it a miss. Hardly a big deal.

[A protest opposing the trip took place on Friday,
according to reports. Belize media outlet Channel 7 said there was a claimed dispute between residents of Indian Creek village and Fauna and Flora International, which has William as patron, over land owned by the conservation organisation. There were also reported to be concerns about the landing site earmarked for the Cambridges' helicopter, with residents claiming they were not consulted about the location, a local football pitch.

A shameless display of privilege. I can't believe they are happy for their free holiday to be side by side in the news with all the suffering in Ukraine.
