Twitter has been blowing up with recently rediscovered pictures of Prince William and Kate Middleton from a trip to the Solomon Islands back in 2012. The images in question show the pair being carried on chairs as part of the closing ceremonies for the Royal couple.
Now, these resurfaced photos are sparking debate on social media.
Engaging in traditional customs and practices is all part of the experience, and many regions are eager to share their traditions with the Royal couple, and the rest of the world.
These events are always popular and heavily photographed.
In a post tweeted by Danny Neary, he features two images of Prince William and Kate being carried from their boat to the plane in Marau in Guadacanal Province, Soloman Islands before departing for Tuvalu, according to The Telegraph
"Nothing to see here. The UK is totally normal. Having a monarchy is not weird at all," the original tweet read.
"I think it’s a case of this being organised by the local committee. For the royals to then show up and refuse their hosts’ arrangements because of the bad optics would be considered very rude," argued @UstaNajjar.
The original tweet has garnered over 250,000 likes in less than 48 hours.
