The start of Prince William and Kate Middleton's royal tour in the Caribbean was marred by controversy after protests about colonialism forced the couple to cancel their first stop in Belize.
According to local reports, a protest was staged on Friday opposing the royal visit to Akte ’il Ha cacao farm in Indian Creek village in the foothills of the Maya Mountains. Belize news outlet Channel 7 reported that there is a dispute between village residents and Flora and Fauna International, a conservation charity William supports as patron.
The royal couple’s Kensington Palace office said in a statement to Fox News Digital that "due to sensitive issues involving the community in Indian Creek, the visit has been moved to a different location."
