A lot of water has passed under the bridge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-xry7m2\">The recent royal focus on the Caribbean may be a kind of scoping exercise for a royal family testing where it might be when Charles, then William, ascend the throne, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-xry7m2\">In December,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/antiguaobserver.com\/fernandez-wants-ab-to-follow-barbados-lead-and-become-a-republic\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s tourism minister, Charles \u201cMax\u201d Fernandez<\/a>, and an editorial in the Antigua Observer, said it was time to follow Barbados and become a republic. In St Lucia, the former prime minister Dr Kenny Anthony\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestkittsnevisobserver.com\/former-prime-minister-urges-st-lucia-to-move-towards-republican-status\/#:~:text=Kenny%20Anthony%20has%20called%20on,move%20towards%20becoming%20a%20republic.\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">has said his government should follow suit<\/a>. An editorial in the Vincentian newspaper of St Vincent and the Grenadines said Barbados had shown it could be \u201ceasily accomplished\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-xry7m2\">It is against this backdrop that the Wessexes arrive. Aides should be checking and rechecking photographers\u2019 positions, said Borkowski, in light of the Cambridges\u2019 fence pictures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-xry7m2\">\u201cThey usually are very careful. The royal rota for years has been about stopping the unexpected shot from filtering into the mainstream. So it\u2019s a surprise they were caught out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-xry7m2\">His advice: \u201c[The Wessexes] should avoid cliches, think very carefully about every photo op and not go off-piste. Don\u2019t extemporise. Keep to the plan, and make sure the plan has been thought through with great military precision.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-rmxmld\">\n<section class=\"css-jjd5tl\">\n<div class=\"css-1qm1lh\">\n<div class=\"css-1gda9bs\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"css-i81n1e\">\u2026 as you\u2019re joining us today from Panama, we have a small favour to ask.
