Taoiseach Leo Varadkar 'has spoken' to partner Matt Barrett about comments made about King Charles' coronation

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said he has spoken to his partner Matt Barrett about comments made on his Instagram about King Charles' coronation.

He said that it "won't’ happen again" as Mr Varadkar agreed that the commentary provided by the cardiologist on a private Instagram account was "irreverent". Miriam Lord reported in her Irish Times column on Saturday that Dr Barrett had posted several messages on Instagram while inside Westminster Abbey at King Charles ’ coronation on May 6.

It came just hours after he had met the monarch with the Taoiseach at a reception in Buckingham Palace. It was reported that Mr Varadkar’s partner posted several messages to over 350 followers on his private Instagram account.
