The Taoiseach's partner Matthew Barrett has apologised over a series of posts he made mocking King Charles' coronation.
The cardiologist came under fire after posting several jokes about the coronation on his private Instagram account. The posts were published hours after Dr Barrett met the King of England along with Mr Varadkar at a reception in Buckingham Palace.
One of the alleged posts included a photo taken by Dr Barrett inside the Taoiseach's VIP vehicle, jokingly captioned with "Holy sh*t I think I’m accidentally crowned king of England." Mr Varadkar admitted in a press conference today in Limerick that the remarks on his partner's Instagram account were irreverent.
