To celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee - commemorating 70 years on the throne - the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are undergoing an eight-day royal trip in the Caribbean part of the commonwealth.

On the second day of their trip, Prince William and Kate Middleton arrived in Belize, where they were shown around the Maya cacao farm in the town of Hopkins and treated to a raucous welcome, which involved dancing as part of the Garifuna festival, and gifts including a set of wooden maracas.

She added further detail: '[Prince William] shook his waist to the music. He had beautiful rhythm. It was a pleasure for me.

'Kate was excellent as well and definitely has Garifuna culture in her.'

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge later took to their official Instagram account to share some glimpses of the day including the dancing, which they posted with the caption: 'Wow! What a welcome 🎉

It was a privilege to spend time with the Garifuna community and experience some of their traditions, here in Hopkins.

Thank you Mama G for hosting such a special event!'
