"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 1st 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 3rd 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!”
