“Their people were very secretive and kept saying this had to be kept very quiet, but on a small island like Ambergris Caye it’s impossible to keep anything quiet for very long,” a source told The Mail on Sunday.

Belize, a Commonwealth nation, is reportedly among destinations on the royal couple’s tour, which will have “a focus on ecological issues.” Queen Elizabeth, who is Head of State in Belize, is celebrating her Platinum Jubilee this year, making her the first British monarch to do so. Last year, Buckingham Palace announced that there would be year-long celebrations throughout the UK, the Commonwealth and around the world to commemorate the monarch’s 70-year reign.
