William and Kate celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with video as ‘Megxit’ row deepens

Prince William and Kate Middleton celebrated St. Patrick’s Day – as the ‘Megxit’ row deepens.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have joined with world leaders in wishing the Irish good luck in a special video message.

William, 38, began by pronouncing his salute saying: “Beannachtai na Feile Padraig oraibh” – “Happy St. Patrick’s Day”.

This was followed by Kate, 39, who said: “We are delighted to wish you all a very happy St. Patrick’s Day.”

William then joked to his wife, “How come you had this easy piece?”

The Duke and Duchess appeared amid continuing tensions within the royal family and as Prince Philip, 99, was released from hospital.

It is feared that Prince Harry, 36, and Meghan Markle, 39, have dashed any hope of reconciliation with their latest actions in the ongoing saga after their interview with Oprah Winfrey, 67.

Gayle King, a friend of the Duchess of Sussex, revealed on CBS ‘This Morning’ yesterday that the couple gave her an update on royal relations.

The 66-year-old TV personality said Harry spoke to both William and his father, Prince Charles, 72.

She added that she was told “these conversations weren’t productive but they are happy to have at least started a conversation.”

Ms King said: “I’m not trying to break the news, but I called them to see how they were feeling and it’s true that Harry talked to his brother and he also talked to his dad. “

This public revelation would have upset Buckingham Palace, which said it hoped to be able to address Oprah “in private”.

Royal sources told the Mirror the revelations would “raise alarm bells” among members of the Royal Family that private conversations were being used against them.

And insiders added: “This type of behavior could have huge implications for trust between camps in the future.”

Crisis talks were scheduled after Meghan said she was suicidal while in cabinet and accused her in-laws of being concerned about the dark color of her son Archie’s skin during the sitting of the bomb.

She also claimed Kate made her cry before her wedding in 2018, and not the other way around, as previously reported in the interview.

William and Kate also made their public appearance the day after Prince Philip, 99, was released from the hospital.

The Duke of Kent was treated for 28 nights, his longest stay in hospital.

The senior royal underwent surgery for pre-existing heart disease and has since returned to Windsor Castle, according to a statement.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge appeared alongside US President Joe Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, New Zealand leader Jacinda Ardern and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, among others, on the video.

The couple, both dressed in shades of green – the national color of the republic – recalled the warm welcome they received during their visit to Ireland last March just before the first lockdowns.

William said: “We were delighted to be able to visit Ireland just over a year ago, a few weeks before all of our lives were turned upside down by the pandemic.”

Kate added: “The warm welcome we received everywhere was a testament to the friendship between our two countries and the strength of the relationship between the UK and Ireland.”

The Duke said they recognize St. Patrick’s Day will be different, but he hopes people will still be able to celebrate safely.

William added: “We know that for Irish people around the world today will not be the same as usual, but we hope you can celebrate it safely in any case.”
