Prince Harry and his team left stranded in St Vincent after their Caribbean tour boat breaks down
The Wave Knight, which the Prince has been sleeping aboard, was meant to have left for Grenada on Saturday
PRINCE HARRY’S schedule was thrown into chaos yesterday after the Royal Auxiliary vessel taking him around the Caribbean broke down.
The Wave Knight, which the Prince has been sleeping aboard, was meant to have left for Grenada on Saturday. But last night it was still in St Vincent after refusing to start.
Harry and his party stayed on board until mid-day yesterday hoping it would be fixed, but last night the ship was still broken down.
Officials have been desperately trying to get the boat fixed in time for the Prince to get to Grenada in time for for his next royal engagements.
If not, his team plan to charter a plane and find hotels to stay in.
They were supposed to be sleeping on the boat tonight and tomorrow night.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said: “Today, Day 8 of the tour, was a designated travel day.
“The journey from St Vincent and the Grenadines to Grenada was due to take six hours and the tour party planned to stop along the way for lunch.
“Due to a technical problem, RFA Wave Knight was unable to leave St Vincent as planned. Prince Harry and the tour party remains in the country and went to a nearby island for a private afternoon ahead of week two.
“Contingency plans are in place and there is no current expectation that the second half of the tour will be impacted by the technical problem with Wave Knight.
“We are looking forward to meeting the people of Grenada tomorrow.”
