Green, green, green are all her colors – and Duchess Kate let her outfit do the talking during a visit to neighboring Ireland. The visit will not be easy for members of the British royal family.
Dublin – Ireland is also known as the “Emerald Isle”. Duchess Kate and Prince William are currently in the neighboring country – their first visit. It's not an easy visit for members of the British royal family: Ireland hasn't been under British rule for centuries. The Northern Ireland conflict continued into the late 1990s, when William's uncle Louis Mountbatten, who was particularly close to Prince Charles, was assassinated by the IRA in 1979.

The visit to Cambridge is also seen as a special sign of reconciliation between the two countries. In 2011, Queen Elizabeth II visited the Republic of Ireland for the first time – 100 years after her grandfather, King George V.
The visit comes at a pivotal time in relations between the states: Great Britain left the European Union on January 31.
