The new Prime Minister of Jamaica, Portia Simpson Miller, has said she intends to make the island a republic. In her inaugural address, Ms Simpson Miller said the time had come for Jamaica to have its own president. The Queen's grandson Prince Harry is due to visit the island this year. Our royal correspondent Peter Hunt reports.
Jamaica's flirting with republicanism is nothing new. A previous prime minister set 2007 as the deadline for severing all links with the island's former colonial ruler and installing a homegrown head of state. Five years on, it's now the rallying call of the recently elected Portia Simpson Miller. Mrs Simpson Miller set no time frame, and she has a troubled economy to deal with.
