King Charles Visits Northern Ireland, visits Hillsborough Castle

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

King Charles III and his wife Camilla, the Queen Consort, have arrived in Northern Ireland on Tuesday, as thousands of people continue to file past the Queen’s coffin lying in state in Edinburgh.

This is King Charles’ first trip to Northern Ireland as the United Kingdom’s new monarch, following in the footsteps of his mother, who was seen as a symbol of the union and was an important figure during Northern Ireland’s peace process.

Tuesday’s historic visit saw the King arrive at the royal residence, Hillsborough Castle, where he greeted the public and looked at floral tributes. There he will meet with the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Chris Heaton-Harris, and the leaders of Northern Ireland’s biggest political parties.

Following a reception at the castle, the King and the Queen Consort will attend an afternoon service of prayer and reflection at St. Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast.

They will also be introduced to faith and community leaders from across Northern Ireland. More than 800 people are expected to be taking part in the religious service.

His visit comes at an uneasy moment for Northern Ireland, where political tensions are high and key issues around Brexit remain unresolved.

While the majority of the country voted to remain in the European Union in the 2016 referendum, the UK’s ruling Conservative Party signed a Brexit deal that created new customs barriers between Northern Ireland and mainland Britain.

Queen Elizabeth II was the monarch for 70 years of Northern Ireland’s 101-year history.

She was Queen during the 30 bloody years of violence known as “The Troubles,” which pitted UK unionists against Irish nationalists, with the British Crown emblematic of much that divided the province.

Unionists are loyal to the Crown and the traditional British values they believe it enshrines. For Irish nationalists, it is the symbol of the British forces who subjugated their ancestors and annexed their land.

Louis Mountbatten, the last British Viceroy to India and Charles’ favorite great-uncle, was murdered by the Irish Republicans along with several of his grandchildren in 1979.

The Queen publicly put aside those differences during a 2012 visit to Northern Ireland, shaking the hand of Martin McGuinness, one of the republicans most associated with the violence of the past.
People queue to see the coffin of Queen Elizabeth II as she lies at rest at St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland.
