The Duke of Cambridge said: “We let them know where we are and he finds us on a map and puts a pin on it and shares it with others.”
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Evening Reception at the Mayan Ruins in Cajal Pesh, Belize yesterday. This marked their last engagement in the country.
Today, the royal tour continues with a visit to Jamaica before the couple head to the Bahamas at the end of the week.
Speaking to guests last night, William quoted words from his grandmother the Queen’s 1994 address to the country’s parliament. He said: “She said, ‘I am proud to join you in your determination to ensure that social justice and individual freedom flourish under the rule of law.
“However, it is always dangerous to be complacent and assume that democratic values will take care of themselves. Vigilance is needed to protect them.”
He added: “Her Majesty continued: “Above all, democracy is protected by teamwork – the individual will of all citizens, each of whom unites to achieve one goal.”
During the reception, Prince William spoke in front of the Mayan ruins and spoke out against the conflict in Ukraine, saying “democracy is being tested.”

“Unfortunately, in other countries of the world, this vigilance is now being tested in Ukraine.
“Belize has joined many others in condemning the invasion and upholding the principles of international law, peace and security. Today we think of those who are fighting in Ukraine and stand in solidarity with them.”
The Duke also conveyed “warmest wishes from my grandmother, the Queen of Belize” on the occasion of her platinum jubilee.”
The Duchess wowed guests with a stunning bright pink metallic dress from Vampire’s Wife and a Maya embroidered bag from a Mayan designer.
The couple met with community leaders, prominent Belizeans and government officials in the presence of Prime Minister Johnny Brienko.
For the occasion, the Duchess threw her long dark locks over her shoulders, showing off a sparkling pink dress and dangling earrings in all their glory.
In his speech, William also highlighted Belize’s fight against Covid, telling guests, “The last two years of the Covid-19 pandemic have been extremely difficult, but hearing from so many people that things are going well is reassuring.”
The couple will later fly to Jamaica, the next stop on their eight-day Caribbean tour, and receive an official welcome in the country.
The Duke and Duchess will then travel to the Royal Household to meet with the Governor General of Jamaica, Sir Patrick Linton Allen, before celebrating Jamaica’s sporting and musical heritage.
A Cambridge family, who were forced to change their venue in Belize after resistance from local residents, is facing renewed protests from Jamaican activists accusing the Queen and her predecessors of perpetuating slavery.
As the country celebrates its 60th anniversary, a coalition of Jamaican politicians, business leaders, doctors and musicians has called on the British monarchy to pay compensation for slavery, with a demonstration expected on Tuesday.
