Prince Harry in Jamaica

"Hello, OK, Yah!" Prince Harry greets the local children in Jamaica

So, despite his speedboat "snuffing it" halfway across the Caribbean Sea, Her Majesties representative, Prince Harry of Wales has arrived safe and sound on the island paradise of Jamaica. Prince Harry, full name Henry Charles Albert David, is representing Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on this, her Diamond Jubilee year (1952 – 2012) and it is also his first solo visit. Harry has also visited Belize and the Bahamas; he will also be jetting off to Brazil on behalf of H.M Government. Great stuff!

To add to this auspicious occasion, the Jamaican Defence Force fired off a 21 gun salute and the prince inspected a Guard of Honour. I watched this parade on the BBC News this morning, he stopped to talk to one of the Guards and I half expected him to say “What doo yoo doo?” but then again, he may have left that to his granny.

Now, yours truly is not one for name dropping, but Prince Harry’s Private Secretary, Jamie Lower-Pinkerton, said that Prince Harry would bring his own brand of style and enthusiasm to these events, ‘JLP’ as we know him, is my old Army mate from the 1^st Battalion of Irish Guards, a true gent, it’s nice to see we have both done well for ourselves, JLP as Private Secretary to the 3^rd in line to the throne and myself, writing this Blog for Jamaican Treasures, the best villa rentals company in Jamaica (Is that the sound of one’s own Trumpet I hear being blown?)

The official visit begins on Tuesday (06/03) with a tour of the University of the West Indies and Harry could take part in a fun run with Usain Bolt (or Richard Branson?) Harry will also meet Portia Simpson Miller, the Prime Minister of Jamaica.

Let’s hope all goes well and Jamaica gets some really good publicity from this visit, say what you like about these types of things but they do tend to raise the profile, especially in the USA where they consider all this type of stuff “quaint!”
