The Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge are on the last leg of their Caribbean royal tour and
have an action-packed day of activities ahead of them in the Bahamas. William
and Kate, who arrived in the country on Thursday afternoon, have
already had an official meeting with the Prime Minister.
But on Friday, the couple had
the chance to meet with more locals and bond with schoolchildren as they kicked
off a rather rainy day two of their Bahamas trip with a visit to Sybil Strachan
Primary School in the capital city, Nassau.
The Duchess was all smiles despite
the torrential downpour, looking spring-ready in a pastel green dress and nude
heels.
William and Kate were met by
excited staff and pupils as they dropped into a class at Sybil Strachan Primary
School.
The royals were greeted with a
‘Guard of Honour’ of schoolchildren alongside the Minister of Education, Glenys
Hanna-Martin, and the Principal of the school, Mr. Ricardo Rolle.
The school, which was closed
for nearly two years as a result of COVID-19, has over 700 students stretching
from pre-school to Grade 6.
Students from other local
schools also gathered for the assembly, which included a school choir
performance and a traditional ‘Rake n’ Shake’ Band.
Rake n’ Shake music is characterized
by the use of a saw tool as the primary instrument and is used to accompany
dances such as the Bahamian Quadrille and the heel-toe polka.
She confidently delivered her
words to the hundreds of people gathered at the assembly.
