William and Kate meet Ireland's president and Taoiseach on first day of visit
It's been eight years since the Queen's historic visit to Ireland - back then she was the first British monarch to do so for 100 years.
Now her grandson and his wife followed in her footsteps on a trip to celebrate the UK's links with its closest EU neighbour.
Their deployment on what can only be described as a sensitive assignment speaks volumes about their status in the royal family.

As a Brit we can’t fully right our wrongs, but we can at least acknowledge them, the Queen instigated this. An unecessary hate, rivalry and tension to people who most of us have a connection too

@@gingerbaker4390 It comes from the Irish word fianna meaning warriors. In plain English the fenians were pretty much the 19th century version of the IRA. The queen also paid her respects there during the 2011 tour. The Irish for their part paid their own respects to Britain's war dead as well.

@artist Many moons ago the British tribes use to all fight each other. One day the Christian church called them all together in a big pow wow and basically told them all to stop fighting and swear allegiance to one King. They put aside their differences and did exactly that. Elizabeth II is the 61st monarch of that historic meeting. It doesn't go wrong because it follows a legitimate bloodline. In other words the Monarch takes on the burden so the people don't have too and can live in peace. Hence the expression heavy is the head who wears the crown. It's an enormous responsibility. That's how the British (Men of the covenant) became a Great nation. The Union flag represents all the people's of the British Isles. We are all the same people. We live in a civilised democracy. Understand now....
William and Kate are so responsible and so respectful they are for us all. God bless our Queen.

Donald Trump isn’t lying when he says he was “highly impressed” by the Queen. She’s a smart cookie. Hence this Kate and William trip. Both of them have gone down a storm in Ireland.
These two are the future of our Royal family. Flawless. Will make a wonderful King and Queen.

ryan lang I don’t find it strange at all. It is about reconciliation, the challenge is to learn from the past, but to forge ahead to build new friendships. The royals aren’t about politics, soft politics perhaps but, W&C being there is a nod for those political discussions to begin in earnest. The U.K. government will be utilising the skills of the BRF to ‘oil the wheels’ post- Brexit with the sole purpose of making better trade relationships.☺️🇬🇧
