Falmouth resident Carlos Morgan considers King Charles his 'brethren'. Morgan, who met Prince Charles and his wife Camila in 2008, said that based on his interactions with the then Prince of Wales, he thinks the designation is appropriate.

"I call him brethren because when he came to me he didn't ask my name. He greeted 'by [saying] Hello Carlos'. For him to greet me like that, he must be a brethren. We chatted in a relaxed form," Morgan, a rastafarian, said.

The conversation to which he referred took place while Charles chewed on a piece of sugarcane in the middle of Falmouth. Morgan, fruit vendor, was selected to interact with the prince and his wife when they visited the historic town.

"Look how many hundreds of people were there and he chose to be photographed with me. It wasn't by chance though. Then Ambassador Aloun Assamba arranged it all. When his son, Harry, visited he, told his son to visit me. That is the action of a brethren," Morgan said.

Although the encounter with Charles took place 14 years ago, Morgan said it is fresh in his mind.

"It is like it happened yesterday. The prince and I chatted and discussed Falmouth. During this time, I peeled a piece of the sweetest ribbon cane and gave it to him. He ate it without being told how to handle it. Cameras were just clicking to record the historic event," said Morgan.

"The pride of the moment still lingers. I have often boasted about being the only man to be photographed with the prince while holding my sharp knife. Not even his chef has that luck," Morgan chirped.

The Trelawny fruit vendor also gave sugarcane to Harry, Charles' second son, when he visited as part of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012. However, he was not so fortunate to meet William, the new prince of England, who visited Jamaica with his wife, Kate, in March. The queen died last T

The Jamaica National Heritage Trust has officially reopened the replica house of Sir Alexander Bustamante in Blenheim, Hanover. In a ceremony that also celebrated the hero’s 123rd birthday on February 24, 2007, Minister of Tourism, Entertainment and Culture Hon. Aloun Assamba and Leader of the Opposition Bruce Golding cut the single yellow ribbon that decorated the doorway of the building to officially signify the reopening.

Immediately on entering the house, a statue of Sir Alexander Bustamante seems to welcome guests

As the official party and members of the media stepped inside the small house for the first time, they were greeted by a life size statue of Sir Alex which literally seemed to say “Welcome to Blenheim.” The official party eagerly posed and had their photos taken beside the statue executed in clay by Jamaican artist Philip Ambokile Henry. They then viewed other key attractions inside the three room house including the hero’s hat, glasses, shoes, suitcases, wash basin and goblet. Attractive storyboards mounted inside the house tell the story of the hero’s life from birth, his many travels, fight for justice for the working class and his leading of Jamaica into independence.

Guests, including a large contingent of supporters of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), representatives of the Bustamante Industrial Trade Union (BITU), members of civic organizations as well as residents of the area all seemed to agree that “Blenheim has never looked so good.”

Speaking at the opening JNHT executive director Laleta Davis Mattis noted that out of adversity came good. She explained that the JNHT took the opportunity after the 2005 fire to improve on what was at Blenheim before and came up with a site that she hopes all Jamaica will embrace with pride. “What we are presenting to you is a modified replica of the house in which William Alexander Clarke, later known to the world as Bustamante, spent his carefree format

Diplomatic mission

The High Commission of Jamaica in London is the diplomatic mission of Jamaica in the United Kingdom.

History

The High Commission had its beginnings in 1962. Among the first diplomatic missions to be established after the attainment of independence from Britain, the office was initially located at Bruton and Grosvenor Streets, then on St James's Street, before eventually moving to its current location Prince Consort Road.

For many decades, Jamaicans have been travelling to England to work and study. In the 1940s many Jamaicans volunteered and fought alongside the British in World War II. In the post-war era, there was mass migration from Jamaica due labour shortages in the 'motherland', with the first arrivals aboard HMT Empire Windrush, bringing almost 500 Jamaicans to Britain. Waves of Jamaicans later emigrated to the United Kingdom for economic and educational reasons.
