During the night, William spoke to the crowd about the links between the two countries.

“Today, our relationship goes far beyond two countries that are simply neighbors. ‘We are firm friends and equal partners,’ my grandmother put it,” William shared. “The links between our people, businesses and our culture are inextricable, and we should all be proud to see how strong those bonds are.”

He added, As we look ahead to some changes in our relationship, we must never forget how far we have come together in recent decades in transforming the relationships across our two islands.”

Earlier in the day, Kate and William were seen touring the Irish countryside.
