Royal visit to Donegal strengthens UK/Irish relations
Their Royal Highnesses (TRH) The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall will pay a visit to County Donegal this week.
At the request of the British Government, Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall will undertake their second official visit to Ireland. This follows the State Visits of Her Majesty The Queen to Ireland in May 2011 and of The President of Ireland to the UK in April 2014.
In Donegal Town, Their Royal Highnesses will celebrate the area’s heritage by visiting Magee’s – a local company which has been producing tweed in Donegal for 150 years.
At the Letterkenny Institute of Technology, The Prince will meet local entrepreneurs and learn more about the institute’s cross border programmes; meanwhile Her Royal Highness will visit a local school.
Finally, at Glenveagh Castle, Their Royal Highnesses will tour the gardens and meet children who have been learning about some of the conservation work which takes place in the National Park.
