Prince Charles is set to go ahead with his planned visit to Ireland despite the death of his aunt Princess Margaret.
The trip is being described as an official visit and it is expected to be confined to Dublin, despite earlier speculation that the Prince would visit the Burren.
Details of the visit have not been formally announced for security reasons.
So far it is unknown if the prince will be accompanied by his partner, Ms Camilla Parker-Bowles, though the couple's relationship has become progressively more open.
