The Duke and Duchess
of Cambridge had an incredible time during their Caribbean tour in March,
and newly released pictures showed that they reached quite a few highs – or,
rather, deeps.
Official royal photographer
Matt Porteous took to Instagram to share a series of clips and photographs from
his time capturing the couple during their tour.
He revealed with some
jaw-dropping snippets that he had captured the royal couple while they went
deep-sea diving, swimming about while sharks floated right past them in the
majestic blue water.
“It was a true honour to
document The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on their week-long tour of the
Caribbean last month,” he wrote.
“Here are some highlights
of the beautiful people, friendly smiles, breathtaking landscapes and pristine
oceans we saw along the way.”
Many were left in awe by the
breathtaking visuals of the two from their trip, interacting with several
dignitaries and experiencing the delights and beauties of the local culture.
During a speech the
Prince delivered at the tail end of their visit, he said: “Foreign
tours are an opportunity to reflect. You learn so much. What is on the minds of
Prime Ministers? The hopes and ambitions of school children. The day-to-day
challenges faced by families and communities.”
Referring to the debate over
whether each of the three nations might break away from the British monarchy to
become republics, he said: “I know that this tour has brought into even
sharper focus questions about the past and the future.
“In Belize, Jamaica and
the Bahamas, that future is for the people to decide upon. But we have
thoroughly enjoyed spending time with communities in all three countries,
understanding more about the issues that matter most to them.”
The future king continued:
“Catherine and I are committed to service. For us, that’s not telling
people what to do. It is about serving and supporting them in whatever way they
think best, by using the platform we are lucky to have.

The royals toured Belize, Jamaica, and the Bahamas
“It is why tours such as
this reaffirm our desire to serve the people of the Commonwealth and to listen
to communities around the world.”
