Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex postpone Grenada visit

For the second time in two months, a Royal visit intended to foster goodwill for the Queen in her Platinum Jubilee year has collided with the anger of people in the Caribbean about Britain’s historic connections with slavery.

Last month, Prince William and Kate had to alter their itinerary during a trip to former British colonies that was widely considered a PR disaster.

Now, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie have postponed the Grenada leg of their tour.

But the head of Grenada’s reparations committee told us he is disappointed – because he wants to sit down with them to talk.
