- ‘It’s not our job to tell people what to do’
- Tour brought questions on the past and future into focus
PRINCE William yesterday took a historic step forward for the Royal Family in an astonishing statement over the protest-hit Caribbean tour.
The second in line to the throne said his job is “not telling people what to do” and added: “Who the Commonwealth chooses to lead its family in future isn’t what is on my mind.”
The Duke of Cambridge delivered the starkly honest review of his and Kate’s eight-day tour to Belize, Jamaica and The Bahamas after a series of PR disasters raised questions over the future of the monarchy’s role in the region.
In the extraordinary soul-searching statement, Wills said he accepted his future will be shaped on how he and wife Kate are perceived around the world, not their royal standing.
