Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Arrive in Dublin for First Royal Visit

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are having quite a busy week. They kicked off their eventful week on Monday, July 9 at Prince Louis' christening, followed by an afternoon tea that served 7-year-old wedding cake to the guests. They made an appearance at the 100th birthday celebrations for the Royal Air Force on Tuesday morning alongside Prince William, Kate Middleton, Queen Elizabeth, and Prince Charles. Quickly after the celebration, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had to hop on a plane for another royal engagement. These royals are very busy, aren't they?

Meghan and Prince Harry touched down in Dublin on Tuesday afternoon for a two-day visit to the Emerald Isle. Keeping their schedule as tightly packed as ever, the royal couple are scheduled to visit Croke Park, the Book of Kells at Trinity College, the Famine Memorial on Custom House Quay, and the Irish Emigration Museum. Meghan and Harry will also meet with President Michael D Higgins and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar during their official trip, according to The Irish Times. 

Meghan looked gorgeous, of course, in her second fabulous outfit of the day.  She changed out of her black bespoke Dior dress and into a chic green ensemble by Givenchy for their arrival in Dublin. Green is the perfect choice for your first official royal visit to Ireland and Meghan slayed the designer skirt as she made her way off the plane. Harry looked nice, as well, in a navy blue suit. He coordinate his tie to match his wife's ensemble. Trés adorable. 

Britain and Ireland have a tumultuous history and it's only within the last few years that British royals have started to visit their neighboring country. In 2011 Queen Elizabeth became the first British Monarch to visit Ireland since her grandfather King George V’s visit in 1911, according to the Times. Prince Charles and Camila, Duchess of Cornwall, also visited Ireland just last month, visiting Cork and Kerry on their royal tour. 

Tourism Ireland reports that the visiting royals are good news for tourism as "Great Britain is an important market, delivering 47 per cent of all overseas visitors and around 28 per cent of all overseas revenue." The more you know!
