Sharing a video of Harry and Meghan walking the red carpet and meeting Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness, Scobie tweeted, "A different vibe to the last time we saw PM Andrew Holness with members of the Royal Family…"
The remark appears to reference William and Kate's controversial Caribbean tour in March 2022. During that trip, Prime Minister Holness announced Jamaica's intention to sever ties with the British monarchy, aiming for full independence. The tour faced criticism, and the royal couple encountered resistance in some regions, highlighting a contrast to the seemingly positive reception received by Harry and Meghan during their recent visit to Jamaica.

The comment underscores the differing public responses to the two couples and their connections with the Jamaican political landscape. The Sussexes, who stepped back from their royal roles in 2020, appear to have received a more favorable reception compared to the criticism faced by William and Kate during their official tour.
