What's interesting is that Edward and Sophie have just finished a Caribbean tour and they seem to have taken no UK press with them at all. Instead they've used local press pools etc.
Funnily enough there's been no racism, optics or reparations comments following them at every turn. Almost like it was the British press stirring it up for Will and Kate's visit and the local press aren't bothered one bit and are there to report on the events, not try and taint a nice visit.
I'm not saying there weren't issues with Will and Kate's visit (cough that land rover, no idea what they were thinking) but the whole agenda for that tour was set before they had even landed by the British press which then stirred up a whole mess on Twitter. Didn't matter what they did, it was going to fail. I can't blame them for looking tense when they would have been second guessing everything they did because they knew the press were just desperate for a slip up and if there wasn't one they would find something to turn into one.
