Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness got straight to the point during a Wednesday courtesy call with Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, who are presently touring Caribbean countries.
"There are issues here which as you would know are unresolved," Holness pointed out during a press photoshoot.
"But Jamaica is as you would see a country that is very proud ... and we're moving on," Jamaica's prime minister added. "And we intend ... to fulfill our true ambition of being an independent, fully developed and prosperous country."
Jamaica's move would make it the second Caribbean island to sever relations with the UK Royals, as the island country of Barbados stopped pledging allegiance to the Queen back in November 2021.
The Jamaican government has also called on Britain to acknowledge its role in the enslavement of some 600,000 Africans who were inhumanely packed onto ships and transported to sugarcane and banana plantations owned by British enslavers.
