2021 marks 100 years since the creation of Northern Ireland and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall were on hand to honor the region’s rich history. Arriving in Northern Ireland on May 18, the Royal visitors spent their first day visiting the city of Belfast and the surrounding area.
The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall started the day off at Belfast City Hall, which was opened on June 22, 1921, after Northern Ireland’s first general election on May 24, 1921.
Both Royals wore face coverings, with Camilla matching her emerald mask featuring an embroidered Prince of Wales’s feathers to her outfit and Prince Charles opting for a disposable blue one.
In keeping with Royal visits to Northern Ireland, details were not released in advance and the itinerary was not disclosed for security reasons.
Upon arrival at City Hall, the Royal couple viewed a mural by Belfast artist John Like which was painted for the Festival of Britain in 1950 before viewing a copy of a John Conor painting which showed the State Opening of Stormont in 1921.
Before leaving, they met with council staff who had worked in the community in Northern Ireland throughout the pandemic.
From there, the pair migrated to the city’s Cathedral Quarter where Education Authority Headquarters is located. There they learned about the services provided for Belfast’s youth and heard first-hand accounts of how they are beneficial. Prince Charles and Camilla then took part in a discussion led by the assistant director for youth services, Arlene Kee.
