‘We jammin' Kate and William given pop stars' welcome on visit to Bob Marley's hometown
By RICHARD PALMER Wed, Mar 23, 2022

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge went to Trench Town, the working-class district of Kingston where the reggae star lived and wrote his most famous song, No Woman No Cry. They toured his former home, now a museum, and played drums with some reggae musicians in the courtyard where Jamaica’s biggest superstar learned to perform.

There was mass hysteria in the neighbourhood, the birthplace of reggae, as the royal couple were mobbed by crowds who chanted: “We love you, we love you” as they walked to Trench Town Culture Yard and Museum in Jamaica’s capital.

Their walk to the museum came after William played football with England star Raheem Sterling, Aston Villa and Jamaica winger Leon Bailey, and some Jamaican league players in front of a cheering crowd on a neighbourhood pitch.

You of all people, telling someone else not to be pompous about thread titles is hilarious

Slim, I wish you wouldn't refer to the Jamaicans as 'Natives'; at least you didn't preface it with 'dirty' this time.

The journalist Robert Jobson who is travelling with the Cambridges on their 9 day trip said the fence incident was grossly misrepresented.
“There was an fence around the football pitch where hundreds of youngsters had gathered to meet the players, including Raheem Sterling, as well as the Royals.
Of course they went over, if they hadn't, they would have been accused of snubbing them."

William and Kate also re-enacted the historical moment

walked down the grand central steps inside
the house when they first visited Jamaica in 1953

I just admire William so much; so statesmanlike and respectful of others and will make a great King. He addressed the issue of slavery with dignity and sincerity.
It’s a shame that a very small group of Jamaicans let such a friendly country down by being so hostile and disrespectful to their visitors representing the Queen as part of her Golden Jubilee celebrations.
William and Kate have handled it and the tour magnificently and are the epitome of good manners and class.

Be very interesting to see how this one is handled. His brother has said the same and has been called all sorts.
