The visible.crown project working on these issues: our UWI colleagues are conducting poll in the 12 Comm. Caribbean states+OTs on attitudes to monarchy, republicanism etc; will be v interesting to see how this tour (and Wessexes in April) affects responses. On 🇧🇧 poll..
Okay historians, this is pretty much the “Winds of Change” part 2. I would love to read scholarly analysis on how disasterous this #RoyalTourCaribbean was for the House of Windsor.
@KojoKoram As the Windrush scandal demonstrated Jamaica is still seen as a place to send people who aren't white enough back to. What this shows is that when deportees arrive back in Jamaica there's another tory overlord waiting to blame them... who chooses this kind of subjugation. 🤔
This is a remnant of when the Privy Council served as the final court of the British empire, under the logic that all subjects from every corner of the empire had the right to appeal directly to the reigning British monarch.
So, in summary, keeping the monarchy means Jamaica has a monarch that governs its legal system but if they want to just want see where this monarch lives, they must apply for an expensive visa (which is often denied). Maybe, just maybe this might not be about Meghan Markle.
Also, any legal decision in Jamaica can be ultimately decided by the Queen-in-council, with her Privy Council in London being the ultimate court of appeal.
Having the Queen as the Queen of Jamaica means that the power of the crown is invested in a Governor-General who, under the Jamaican constitution, holds the power to prorogue parliament, approve legislation and declare a state of emergency
Firstly, when we are talking about Jamaica, it’s not the British monarchy. In issues relating to Jamaica, the Queen acts as Queen of Jamaica, despite having only set foot on the island once this millennium.
Royals on tour have often attracted controversy, but this is big. Our @visible_crown project never more timely. #royaltourcaribbean
