King Charles made a surprise departure from the UK for an official visit to Northern Ireland, while his estranged son, Prince Harry, continues to navigate legal troubles surrounding his U.S. visa status. The monarch, accompanied by Queen Camilla, attended a series of engagements at the Commercial Court in the heart of Belfast on Wednesday.
While Queen Camilla joined him for most events, Charles conducted separate meetings with key political figures. The King held private audiences with Sinn Féin First Minister Michelle O’Neill and, separately, with DUP Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly.
