2. Some countries place restrictions on certain imports, and some of these imports are banned altogether. Please check with your local authorities before placing an order. While we can refund the merchandise cost if an item is returned to us due to import restrictions, we cannot refund the shipping and handling charges.

On the track there was nothing but happiness expressed towards Prine Harry.

This past month Prince Harry went on a tour of the Caribbean Islands.

Prime Minister, Portia Simpson Miller, has called anew for the severing of ties with the British monarchy.

Jamaica has been independent from Britain since 1962 but still recognizes the queen of England as head of state.

Prime Minister Miller says   “I think the fact that August coming will be 50 years since we have gained our independence, that it’s time for us to sever the ties,” she said Thursday in an interview with The Associated Press.
