LIVE BROADCAST: Prince Harry Visits Kingston Craft Market (Jamaican Sketch)

BoardLane TV has learned that Prince Harry took time out to visit Kingston’s Craft market earlier today. We have footage of  Prince Harry’s visit to the market.  Harry, dressed casually in an open-necked blue linen shirt, navy blue trousers and blue suede boots, was seen with his entourage walking along the side-walk heading to the Craft market. He seems un-phased by the usual hustle and bustle of the Kingston streets. As he strides along, a bus conductor tries to get his attention:

Devon: (Yelling from the steps of a mini-bus) Yow Prince Harry Potta! READY BUS DIS!! SAINT TAMAS WI A GOH! READY BUS!  A Saint Tamas yuh a head, my yute?

Harry:  (With a strong British accent) No mon. I am going to the Craft Market, just up ahead. Not going to Saint Thomas, or whatever you just said.

Devon: Trus mi star! Di Craft Market naah gwaan wid nutten inna di day yah, my yute. If yuh waan si some entatainment,  step up inna dis mek wi carry dung a Saint Tamas pan an mek wi show yuh some bus a swim inna di riva wata.  Di Craft Market canna cross dat!

Harry: If I do that, then what on earth will I wear back to my quarters? The Prince of Wales need to have shoes on his feet. Besides there are holes in my socks. That would be all over the tabloids before I get back to England.
