Prince Williams reaches Belize with wife as part three-country Caribbean tour

Prince William and Kate Middleton landed in Belize on Saturday afternoon as part of their three-country Caribbean tour in honour of Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee. After Belize, they will be travelling to Jamaica and then the Bahamas. The Royal couple was welcomed by Prime Minister John Briceno and his wife. "On behalf of our Administration and the country, we welcome The Royal Highness Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. It's a distinct pleasure for my wife H.E. Rossana Briceno Special Envoy for Families and Children and I as Prime Minister of Belize, to receive and welcome them to our beautiful nation," he wrote on Facebook.

In recognition of the Royal Visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, local producers also presented representations of their ingenuity, craftsmanship and Belize's proud development and heritage.

A day before the visit, Prime Minister received a designer edition in honor of the Royal Visit to be presented among the array of Belizean gifts. The gift came from Wil Maheia - Representative for Copalli Rum.

Copalli Rum is unique as its distillery in Southern Belize uses only organic sugar cane, red and purple varieties that they grow on their property, and they produce what is called an “agricole style” rum that is certified organic.
