Video of Kate Middleton recoiling from black woman stirs controversy

Photos and videos from Kate  Middleton and Prince William's visit to Jamaica has stirred a debate on social media.

Hundreds of people including some royal experts have criticized certain pictures released by the couple's team.

Omid Scobie, the co-author of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's biography "Finding Freedom" said, "I do wonder what the hell palace organisers were thinking with some of yesterday's photo moments. The planning and recon that goes into every step of these engagements is next level, so how did no one think to avoid certain imagery? This is why diversity on a team matters."

He added, "A cheering crowd doesn't cancel out the feelings of Jamaicans standing up for reparations and accountability from Britain and monarchy. And neither does a protest mean people couldn't have been excited to see the royals. The story of this tour is incomplete without both elements."

Meanwhile, many people shared a video of Kate Middleton "recoiling" as a black woman extended her arm.
