Great day for Cork, lads!

SO WHILST MOST of the world was busy looking at Meghan Markle’s covered-up shoulders as she hung out with the Queen today…

Here is he chilling with Foreign Affairs Minister and Tánaiste Simon Coveney and Cork’s Lord Mayor Tony Fitzgerald, who seems to be making the Illuminati sign.

What a rascal!

5. Which was unforgivable in some people’s books

If I was a parent in Cork and found out my child had been in some kind of applauding and screeching rent-a-crowd to greet #RoyalVisitCork I wouldn't be terribly pleased - I hope parents were asked for consent to allow kids to attend? Were they?

6. That’s it, you’re on the list, I don’t care if you’re 8 years old Aoife and have no autonomy over your life!

Whoops!

7. Rebels? Rebels, my arse says Twitter user Honey Bear

#RoyalVisitCork is just more proof that my proposal to get the 6 counties in exchange for Cork is the right course of action for a united Ireland.

We get all of Ulster, and get rid of Cork, whose people will be happier when they can have year round visits from inbred Germans.

Tony seriously, please don't thrust your hips and pelvis at Prince Charles. Or actually anyone.

Camilla looks seriously bemused by this informality.

9. Meanwhile across the city, UCC was the Queen of Shade

Upon the eve of the visit of Prince Charles UCC has decided to fly the EU flag off of the north tower of the quad. UCC is a passive aggressive icon.

10. Well, there's also langers, Charles?

The Prince of Wales has sussed us quickly: gently asks if there is any kind of Corkman other than a proud Corkman? #purecork #royalvisitCork #royalvisitireland pic.twitter.com/wt0C2pPDSE

11. Intense work day for the gardaí

Judging by the number of Gardaí out on the road for the Royal visit, I’d say there won’t be a puddin box ate between Cork City and Fermoy tonight. #RoyalVisitCork

12. There's only one Prince that sassy Pauline recognises

I don't know why people are getting excited, I mean the last time he was here his performance was only average. #royalvisitcork pic.twitter.com/u28qvWMSyn
