Charles to meet Sinn Fein’s leaders

The Irish nationalist Sinn Fein party says its two senior figures will meet Prince Charles during his visit this week to Ireland in another groundbreaking event for peacemaking.

Charles has visited the Republic of Ireland twice, but this will be his first time visiting where his great-uncle Lord Louis Mountbatten was assassinated in 1979 — and his first direct contact with Sinn Fein leaders Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness.
