Sinn Féin's Vice President Michelle O'Neill said she has accepted an invitation to attend King Charles' coronation next month, and is doing so in the hope of "advancing peace".
The Northern Ireland politician, who previously served as deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland between 2020 and 2022, will join Irish President Michael D Higgins and wife Sabina in May.
The coronation of King Charles III and Camilla, which is marked for May 6 at Westminster Abbey in London, is the first time in history an Irish head of state will attend the crowning of a monarch since Irish independence.
