The couple was warmly received almost everywhere they went. But a few minor incidents have critics accusing the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge of some bad optics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The first spurs from an image of Will and Kate greeting Jamaican children through a chain-link fence. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/uk-60870417\"><span>BBC<\/span><\/a><span> noted how the photo looks like, \u201csome sort of white-savior parody\u201d with the posh royals awkwardly touching the outstretched fingers of the kids through the fence rather than greeting them in a more intimate manner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt was a bad misstep for a couple who are surprisingly media-savvy,\u201d the publication noted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Unfortunately, that wasn\u2019t the only sour moment for the duke and duchess. There\u2019s also a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/scarletwoman19\/status\/1506489794968559620\"><span>video clip<\/span><\/a><span> of Kate stepping back as Jamaica\u2019s Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment &#038; Sport, Olivia Grange, tries to grab her hand and pull her close. Eventually, the duchess does allow herself to be touched, but critics insist the clip exemplifies the \u201cus versus them\u201d mentality that\u2019s inherent to the royal family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The hits kept coming for the royal pair, who went on the trip as a symbol of goodwill but wound up with several missteps. William and Kate rode in the same vintage Land Rover that Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh rode in during their visit in the 60s. However, rather than being seen as a nice homage to the past, viewers called it, \u201ca clunky reminder of a more deferential time,\u201d according to the BBC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_360258\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-360258\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pool\/Samir Hussein\/WireImage via Getty Images.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Prince William <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/jamaicas-prime-minister-demands-independence-as-prince-william-apologizes-for-slavery-on-royal-tour\"><span>delivered a speech<\/span><\/a><span> that laid bare the horrors of slavery. \u201cI want to express my profound sorrow. Slavery was abhorrent. And it should never have happened,\u201d he said during a dinner event at King\u2019s House in Kingston, Jamaica.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This speech came after Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness announced his intention to make Jamaica a fully independent nation rather than staying connected to the British monarchy. For their part, William and Kate stood behind Holness smiling and nodding as he made the announcement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Besides those couple of glaring missteps, the trip seemed to go rather well for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. But BBC notes how times have changed, and even the smallest inklings of racist behavior will be examined under a microscope. Especially for members of the royal family who are already being judged more harshly than everyone else thanks to their \u201ccolonialist\u201d history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThere is no longer the forgiveness there once was for the slightly tone-deaf moment,\u201d BBC noted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Enter for the chance to hang out with Gina Carano at the premiere of her new Daily Wire movie, Terror on the Prairie!
