In this week’s episode, Chris and Lizzie talk about Prince William and Kate’s trip to Ireland where we saw the couple test their sporting skills, pour the perfect pint of Guinness and pay tribute to those who died fighting for freedom from Britain.
Chris and Lizzie also cover the first of Prince Harry and Meghan’s final engagements as they wrap up their royal duties.
We also speak to Royal Editors Omid Scobie from Harper’s Bazaar, and Russell Myers from the Daily Mirror to get their take on Harry and Meghan’s most recent outings.
Ireland is an island in the North Atlantic. It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George’s Channel.
Geopolitically, Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland (officially named Ireland), which covers five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. As of 2016, 4.8 million people live in the Republic of Ireland, and 1.8 million live in Northern Ireland.
The Irish climate is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and thus very moderate, and winters are milder than expected for such a northerly area, although summers are cooler than those in continental Europe. Rainfall and cloud cover are abundant.
A strong Irish culture exists, as expressed through Gaelic games, Irish music and the Irish language. The island’s culture shares many features with that of Great Britain, including the English language, and sports such as association football, rugby, horse racing, and golf.
