Prince William, Kate Middleton visit Northern Ireland

Prince William and Kate Middleton are visiting Northern Ireland this week, arriving in its capital city, Belfast, on Friday.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are spending this trip meeting with people and organizations focused on preventing homelessness and helping people find jobs and opportunities.

According to the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency, more than 7,800 households across Northern Ireland were considered homeless between October 2025 and March 2026, with Belfast reporting the highest rate of homelessness.

Photographers captured Kate on Friday in a striking dark green tartan plaid skirt paired with a matching green handbag as she stepped out of The Commons, a community center in South Belfast.

She and William also stopped to greet members of the the public who waited to get a glimpse of them and shake hands.

The Waleses support various causes and organizations, including those working to prevent and alleviate homelessness. Last December, William brought his and Kate's eldest son, Prince George, to volunteer and help make Christmas lunch at The Passage, a London-based charity that helps people experiencing homelessness.
