The Cambridges Wave Goodbye to Belize + Windy Arrival in Jamaica
Kate in vintage Yves Saint Laurent and McQueen
The Cambridges have waved goodbye to Belize and flew off to Jamaica this afternoon. They arrived to the airport by helicopter and enjoyed a formal send-off as they boarded their RAF jet.
Kate looked super chic in a vintage Yves Saint Laurent jacket, which Richard Palmer reports she bought while a university student! @FoundbyBojana believes Kate’s flared trousers are by McQueen. The Duchess was wearing Aquazzura Cece 105 heels (ID’d by @cambridg_sussex on Twitter) and carrying a beautiful bag by Mulberry. Her earrings are currently UFOs, but Kate Middleton Style thinks they might be Anthropologie!
As they jetted off, the Cambridges’ Instagram account shared a video of William and Kate scuba diving in Belize’s coral reef. I assume they did this on Monday morning. That would make the most sense time-wise. As we know from people on Mustique, William and Kate are accomplished scuba divers, so I am sure this was an event they really enjoyed. I am mostly shocked that Kate appeared to be wearing her sapphire engagement ring. I guess she has it sized nice and tight! Mine would absolutely slip off in the water…
Here is the video if you want to watch it here.
The flight to Jamaica is not long, and the Cambridges are already on the ground. Kate is wearing a new Roksanda Ilincic dress with the same shoes she wore with her Belize Farewell ensemble above. It looks like she is carrying a Ferragamo clutch. I am in love with her earrings, but still searching for an ID.
The tarmac is very windy, and Kate has been having trouble managing her beautiful full skirt.

I will have more updates later!
Kate looks lovely in yellow. As a Trinidadian, I am very curious about the attitude towards the Cambridges in Jamaica. Here in Trinidad, I would say many people are on Meghan's side and believe her when she said she experience racism within the royal family. Just my two cents but I don't think this was the right time to visit the Caribbean, with the Sussexes departure still fresh and also Barbados removing the Queen as head of state.
Re the windy dress, she'd have been better off sticking with the red jacket ensemble she wore in Belize, in Jamaica. Not least because some will sniff she shouldn't have so many outfit changes. Golly people are critical! Not here necessarily but around the Internet. They're coming down hard on W & K about being in Jamaica. Well, if they didn't want them there, there was plenty of time to stop them. The UK would hardly have forced W & K on Jamaica? I would find it helpful, Jane, if you could explain a little bit about how the Royals end up on official tours? I don't think they always choose where they are going, I think they are more or less told (with maybe the ability to say 'no thanks' but am uncertain about that) and then they have to do a lot of homework and such before they even set off. I put myself in Kate's place in Belize and being told, "well when you get to Jamaica there's going to be a letter there basically telling you to go home." I would think, well then what the heck am I doing there? Why can't we stay an extra few days in Belize or just go somewhere where they DO want us.... Anyway, I am feeling super grumpy today because I can't kick this social media habit that generally just brings me down--except for happy posters like Jane.
