William and Kate were then whisked to their first engagement in the Caribbean country, a meeting with the Prime Minister, Philip Davis, and his wife, Ann Marie Davis. The Duke met the Prime Minister at The Earthshot Prize reception on the final evening of COP 26 in Glasgow, shortly after he had been elected as Prime Minister.
