A cute video from the walkabout. The woman was so happy to meet Meghan, and Meghan mentions her Grandma at the end.
Is it though? People say this but BRF members pretty regularly wade into issues that have political undercurrents. Harry, William and Charles all regularly touch on political issues even if people fudge that. William and Harry do it more delicately than the POW.Yes I agree that this is definitely one of the requirements of royal life.
Is it though? Harry, William and Charles all regularly touch on political issues even if people fudge that. The Irish referendum was a huge deal. Massive. And was on an issue that is legal in the UK. Much ado about nothing and IMP shows Meghan is rather well informed of things going on in the world.
But I am aware I will be in the minority on the view!
It all sounds and looks absolutely delicious. However, the starter would be enough for me, with a nice glass of white wine. I'll forgo the Guinness, thanks!
Guiness is ok when done right! There is a great Irish pub here in DC that I love getting various Guinness drinks at.
Otherwise it is rather heavy.
I've been to Fado Irish Pub in DC as it was close to ice rink for hockey games. Its been a while though. Absolutely the best place to get Guinness on draft is at an Irish pub and I've been known to gravitate towards those.
The Irish have long memories and I grew up with stories about the Great Hunger and just how hard the times were during the potato famine. My grandparents were born in late 1800s and had many, many stories to tell. Its something that I hope never, ever happens again on this earth.
This is one trip to Ireland that I wish I could have hidden away in one of Harry or Meghan's suitcases and had a cloak of invisibility to follow them around.

Incorrect - it's not legal here in Northern Ireland (except in extreme circumstances) which is in the UK. Abortion is an enormously difficult political issue here, as just about everything is in this very divided little bit of land. Any comment by a British royal approving of abortion is a gigantic no-no and I say that as someone who feels it should be legalised in NI.
I would've thought a tie at the famine memorial would've been a good idea for Harry. Much too casual.
Other than that, fairly bog standard stuff for a visit of British royals to Dublin. No trip up the road to Kilkeel, their barony! Very unfortunate.
And they have all taken some heavy criticism for that. Charles in particular will have to be very, very careful when he becomes king, because constitutionally he cannot be seen as being political, and he has crossed the line more than once as PoW.
And they are actual members of the royal family; Meghan, Catherine, Camilla, et. al. need to be even more careful.
True, Its foolish enough to make comments on controversial issues in the UK.. (or even human rights abuses elsewhere) but to say something indiscreet about a very controversial issues in another country, and one which has had a difficult relationship with the UK... that's very foolish indeed.
A very successful and beautiful visit!
Also interested to see what their signature outing will be. That event that becomes the standard for every tour. W&K tend to challenge each other in a local sport. I think C&C try local delicacies. Based on this tour, I hope H&M's signature is outings with kids and/or dogs. Other ideas?
