Prince Harry kicks off two-week Caribbean tour

Despite all the media frenzy about his new romance, it's business as usual for Prince Harry.

The 32-year-old royal touched down in Antigua on Sunday to kick off his two-week Caribbean tour. Harry attended on behalf of the Queen to mark the 35th Anniversary of Independence in Antigua and Barbuda and the 50th Anniversary of Independence in Barbados and Guyana.

Harry stepped off a British Airways jet looking as dapper as usual, wearing a navy suit, baby blue tie and a white dress shirt underneath.

Of course, a red carpet was rolled out for the heir to the British throne and prominent dignitaries, including the prime minister of Antigua, were there to greet him.

He'll visit seven countries -- Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Barbados and Guyana -- during his tour.

This will be the prince's second official visit to the Caribbean, the first happening in 2012.

His trip has been overshadowed by news of his new ladylove, Meghan Markle. Their whirlwind romance is all sorts of adorable, but their relationship hasn't been well received by some.

Kensington Palace has even gone so far as to release a statement about, "the outright sexism and racism of social media trolls and web article comments."

The Suits actress finally broke her silence on Twitter on Friday by thanking her friends and fans who have shown support.
