The royals were given permission to land their helicopter on a soccer field that is currently embroiled in a land dispute between Belize citizens and Flora and Fauna International (FFI), a conservation group that lists Prince William as a patron, Reuters reported.

"We see no reason to celebrate 70 years of the ascension of your grandmother to the British throne because her leadership, and that of her predecessors, have perpetuated the greatest human rights tragedy in the history of humankind," the letter read.
