When meeting members of the public on her visit to Northern Ireland, the Princess of Wales was challenged by a woman who suggested Kate was not in her own country.The exchange unfolded when Kate and William were undertaking an impromptu meet and greet with people in north Belfast.

While shaking hands with the princess, the woman said: “Nice to meet you but it would be better if it was when you were in your own country.” The woman, who appeared to be videoing the exchange on a mobile phone, added: “Ireland belongs to the Irish.” The Princess of Wales is currently in the region alongside husband Prince William for a day-long string of engagements there.

Earlier today, the royal pair visited the Public Initiative for Prevention of Suicide and Self Harm (PIPS) in Belfast where they showed their long-standing support for mental health and wellbeing.Their visit to Belfast marks their first visit to Northern Ireland since they inherited the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales following the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II last month.The couple last visited Northern Ireland back in February 2019 where they completed a two day royal tour.They also tried their hand at bartending when they stopped off at the Trademarket outdoor market.

While some were less welcoming to the Prince and Princess of Wales, others queued hours to get a glimpse of them. As they arrived in Carrickfergus, hundreds of people lined the Marine Highway.They went on to exchange handshakes and fist-bumps with local schoolchildren who had waited for some time to see the royal pair.
