The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s touched down in Dublin last night for their whirlwind tour of Ireland – their first as a married couple.
During the final day of their visit, Harry and Meghan have a jam-packed schedule where they will meet Ireland’s president Michael Higgins and the people of Dublin and visit organisations which are central to Irish life.
Their final day comes on the same day England makes a play for the World Cup final against Croatia, which football fan Harry will be keen to get back for.
Last night, the duke refused to be pushed on whether he thinks England have a chance of lifting the trophy in the tournament because he doesn’t want to “jinx” it.
He and Meghan will attend a Gaelic sports festival at Croke Park, the home of the Gaelic Athletic Association but also the site of the 1920 Bloody Sunday massacre that was visited by the Queen during her historic state visit to Ireland in 2011.
The couple will also learn about Ireland’s culture and heritage, including a visit to Trinity College where they will see the Book of Kells, one of Ireland’s greatest cultural treasures.
The duke and duchess will also have a moment for reflection at the Famine Memorial, before visiting EPIC, the Irish Emigration Museum, telling the story of the 10 million Irish people
who have emigrated across the world.
The royal couple will learn more about the bright future of Ireland during their time in Dublin, with a visit to DogPatch Labs, a co-working space for technology start-ups.
