All Irish eyes were smiling on Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Wednesday as the royal couple launched a day of colorful engagements in Dublin during their first foreign trip together since their May wedding.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived Tuesday evening and will spend most of Wednesday in Dublin, getting to know Ireland's capital and its people, and immersing themselves in what Kensington Palace calls organizations "central to Irish life."
Meghan started the morning in a boat-neck style dress and later changed into a black pant suit.
The royal couple met with Irish President Michael Higgins, which was followed by a visit to Croke Park, home of the Gaelic Athletic Association, Ireland's largest sporting organization.
They're scheduled to visit Croke Park's museum, which displays artifacts from the 1920 Bloody Sunday clash there that killed 32, Irish and British, during the Irish War of Independence from Britain.
On a happier note, they'll head onto the pitch where they will see traditional Gaelic sports, such as hurling, camogie and rounders, as part of their charitable interest in deploying sports for social good.
As their day progresses, they're expected to see the famous Book of Kells in Trinity College's historic Old Library, pay respects at the memorial to the Irish Famine of the mid-19th century, and explore the Irish Emigration Museum
They will check out Dublin's "Digital Docklands" where start-up tech firms share working spaces, and meet female tech entrepreneurs at a birthday celebration for CoderDojo, a global network of free computer programming clubs for young people.
The most anticipated engagement, as in any royal tour, is the scheduled walkabout in Trinity College's Parliament Square.
Meghan, 36, is becoming a royal pro at having fun while greeting fans at rope lines, having participated in multiple walkabouts since her engagement to Harry was announced in November 2017.
Harry, 33, is a natural at this and a popular member of the royal family in part because he has always seemed authentically pleased to shake hands, chat with well-wishers and smile for their cameras.
Harry and Meghan arrived in Dublin Tuesday evening, following a day of ceremonies in London celebrating the centenary of the Royal Air Force.
They headed first to a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, then to a summer garden party at Glencairn House, the residence of the British ambassador to Ireland.
By the time of the party, Meghan was on her third outfit of the day and it was a stunner: A sleek, sleeveless little black dress by Emilia Wickstead, with an A-line silhouette, square neckline, midi length and a belt.
