This afternoon.
Dublin Airport.
Britain’s Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, arrive on their first official visit to the Irish State.
More as we get it.
Meanwhile…
The classic Aer lingering look.
Not impressed.

Covid-19 has officially landed in Ireland. Fine Gael supporters ready to spread through ass kissing!!!
Stop that!
Wearing green, natch. ::vomit emoji::
Gah! She looks like an air-hostess in that coat and scarf!
Heir hostess!
Rolly Dolly?
Her mother was a flight attendant.Perhaps that’s where she got the style.
Doors to manual.
Literally my first thought… Kate double-jobbing as an air-steward on the way over.
Hope their trip matches persona and is unremarkable
* their persona
They are the beigest couple in the world, but the plebs will be out waving their copies of Hello! Magazine in deference.
Being beige is, I would imagine, a core competency for being part of the royal family. I mean Andrew is “colourful” and one would probably not aspire to be like him…
That is some sour look from the trolly dolly. I’m convinced Aer Lingus teach them that just after they learn doors to manual.
Nice couple.
A timely bit of glamour to liven up a country stockpiling Taytos and red lemonade in case of Devoirus.
Ah, the Hello! magazine brigade have arrived.
Because Kate tried to steal her job. These god damn british immigrants…..over here stealing our jobs and our ladies etc.
You have some taste after all …
Broadsheet, how long are you going to allow this to continue, the sexism, the xenophobia, etc.? He adds nothing to anyone’s discourse, creepy interloper that he is.
Brother Barnabas is not to everyone’s taste but creepy ?
thank you
ah now, we should all be happy to take lessons on what’s good for us from the tans.
the day that’s in it an all.
He is the Major in Fawlty Towers to our Basil.
Perfectly put.
Morto for ya Charger
*free afternoon
Haha you insecure over-sensitive washed-up relic of the seventies, she’s totally objectifying her.
Doors to manual and crosscheck actually.
St Finbarr Saunder’s Double Entendres here we go…
Will there be union jacks waved or will it be like when herself came over?
Brown Thomas in Galway have one up for their impending visit and folks aren’t too happy…
Union flags, it’s only Union Jack flown from a ship,
No flags – they’re not visiting Cork.
What? Surely they will be visiting Midleton?
(I’ll get me green coat by St. Bernard)
Hah; the whiskey people missed a trick there. Or maybe they don’t give a dram?
Where there’s a Will there’s a way…
Wearing green to please their lizard overlord.
I suppose she could have worn orange.
To remind the peasants of William of Orange ( King of Ireland from 1689-1702 ).
Although in that case they’d be known as William and Orange.
Either way they’ll be on the front pages of all the Irish newspapers tomorrow and the usual barstoolers on here will be crying into their snowflake cereal over breakfast.
Face facts lads – in a country where your most famous woman is Mrs Brown and your president looks Mr. Magoo these two are BOX OFFICE !
billy, the cousin-marrying lad who had a row with the father-in-law over what religion his illegitimate offspring was going to be raised.
should have named him ‘cletus’.
He’s loosing the old thatch- you’d think he could afford a few plugs eh?
He’s got a super-hot wife, and can apparently seduce her friends no bother as things stand – sure why would he go to the trouble?
Super hot? Super dull. Super frumpy. Super boring.
Christ, I never knew that the BS commentariat was so attractive that they would consider Kate Middelton not to be super-hot…
He’s not Elton John.
No, Elton is a real queen- ha.
St Finbarr? Shouldn’t these two be landing at the real capital, so? Cork.
So this Mr and Mrs Saxe-Coburg-Gotha are on a city break. Is John Bruton genuflecting again?
Can I make a suggestion (being inpart a Sociologist ) “Hereditary Monarchy should not be tolerated in the 21st century”. It’s far from a benign ornament on the mantle piece. Much more a pyramidal networked power system. Btwn segregated schools (yes segregated), accents, land ownership, hereditary wealth. It’s instrumental in sowing division, a continued class system. The individuals born into it, might be nice. Look nice. But why idolize? They like to appear democratic, humanitarians. But it’s all very far from equality. It’s the opposite of America. Personally I see the UK class system as nationalism. Stopped the Euro over sterling being adopted. Green-lighted, legitimized the Iraq war. And finally Brexit. Exploiting fears that England isn’t Downton Abbey anymore. But to the sociologist. Culture, like language, like anything. Like the river. It’s constant change. Power hates change. Hence continued class system. Institutionalized prejudice.
Sorry had to get that out – round 3 of these poopa-doopas over here makes me sick.
Well, thank god we finally have the perspective of a sociologist, at last…
Meh – wouldn’t be cup of tea, and I’m glad my taxes aren’t paying for them, but sure the Brits seem to like them, leave them at it. If there was a referendum in the UK tomorrow on abolishing the monarchy, it would lose a landslide defeat.
Yeah its usually a psychiatrist we need around here.
So off to Áras for a brief four hour ethereal poetry reading now is it?
i actually wish they had to sit there and listen to kevin higgins for an hour. they wouldn’t be in a rush to come back, that’s for sure.
We would get payback for those 800 years in just a few short stanzas.
They do realize they could have applied for an Irish Passport online now, yeah?
queen mum unplugged the wifi after all the stuff with andrew
Especially after Tommy Robinson turned up.
Behind the forced smiles they’re really the Roiled Couple
“Oh Will do we really have to meet these ghastly people?”
Quick! Get a pint straight into their hands.
