The woman reached out and shook Kate’s hand and while doing so said: “Nice to meet you but it would be better if it was when you were in your own country.”
The Princess of Wales has been challenged by a woman in Northern Ireland who suggested she was not visiting her own country.
The encounter also jarred with the welcome the royal couple were afforded on the rest of their trip to Northern Ireland. During their visit, William and Kate spoke with staff about their work helping people at risk of suicide and self-harm. The charity also arranged for them to take part in an art therapy session, painting pumpkins, with some vulnerable children who have been supported by PIPS.
