‘Monarchies are relics’: Protests in Jamaica over royal visit

Guardian News published this video item, entitled “‘Monarchies are relics’: Protests in Jamaica over royal visit” – below is their description.

Protesters have gathered outside the British high commission in Kingston, Jamaica, hours before Britain’s Prince William and his wife, Kate, arrived for a visit to the island. The demonstrators expressed opposition to the idea that Jamaica should continue to retain ties with the British crown. ‘Who are these two young white people now? Why are they here? … The monarchies are relics’, Stayceyann Chin, one of the protesters, said. The royal visit is aimed at strengthening links with Commonwealth countries such as Jamaica, as some nations within the group debate removing Queen Elizabeth as their head of state
