NEW: The Prince and Princess of Wales are in Northern Ireland today for a series of visits. William and Kate hold the titles Baron and Lady Carrickfergus.
The Royal couple have been to PIPS suicide prevention charity @PipsCharity in north Belfast, and cocktails are on the menu at the recently opened Trademarket outdoor street-food and retail market in Belfast city centre. I’m standing about in the rain! More to follow!😄
The royal couple are visiting Carrick Connect youth charity.

And the kids from Acorn Integrated Primary School are among those on the Marine Highway, by the castle, welcoming William and Kate to Carrickfergus.

For the fashion fans: Kate is reportedly wearing a Winser London silk blouse, Alexander McQueen (?) coat, Navy trousers, Missoma hoop earrings, DeMellier handbag.
Lady in the crowd beside the media pen ponders “When he does become King are we going to call him King Billy the second?” #carrickfergus #william #kate ImageImageImageImage
I can’t rule out that Kate got her nails done at Sanctuary by The Sea. If she was wise she would! #carrickfergus sanctuary-by-the-sea.co.uk
When I’m on a job I always source the best treats. There’s more to #Carrickfergus than hanging out with royals… Might I recommend Mauds in Scotch Quarter for a sundae. You’re looking at Bueno sauce, Chocanutty bear, Oreo fudge bash, mint choc chip, Nutella sauce. Deserve it.🥄😋 Image
Talking to RTÉ Radio One Drivetime listeners about today's Royal visit to Belfast and Carrickfergus rte.ie/radio/radio1/
I covered the Carrick part of the royal visit so didn't know about this incident in north Belfast.

“Nice to meet you but it would be better if it was when you were in your own country,” she said."Ireland belongs to the Irish"

Good morning. Maidin mhaith. Guid moarnin’. Just arrived @duponline #DUP22. It’s their first conference since 2019. Sir Jeffrey Donaldson @J_Donaldson_MP to say "…I want us to build a better Northern Ireland, not just for those who share our unionism, but for all our people” Image
I’m working for Reuters news agency & LBC News today. #DUP @duponline press officer John Robinson has said I won’t be allowed into the conference because I was at the Ireland’s Future conference. I was at the conference as a journalist, a paid interviewer. @NUJofficial #DUP22 ImageImage
Bad line to @LBCNews from the Crowne Plaza hotel as I attempt to cover #DUP22 conference. I was explaining to listeners that the #Breixt protocol is expected to feature heavily during the day, and that Sir Jeffrey Donaldson is expected to speak about outreach beyond unionism.
