Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were heckled with IRA-related comments as they attended the Famine Memorial on Dublin’s quays.

After travelling back into the city centre from Croke Park for a tour of Trinity College, Meghan and Harry stopped into Delahunt restaurant on Camden Street for lunch before going to the Custom House Quay to see the tribute to those who died or emigrated in the 19th century disaster.

As they newlyweds were shown around the memorial by sculptor Rowan Gillespie, who created the moving piece, they were heckled by a number of people from across the Liffey.

The hecklers shouted “Up the RA” and “Tiocfaidh ar la” as the pair discussed the memorial with Gillespie.

The couple later walked across to the CHQ building were they met with young coders in the Dogpatch Labs and toured EPIC, the Irish emigration museum.

Outside the museum, they were treated to an open air concert with Moon Looks On, Leila Jane & The Healers and the Liber8 Music Project as they greeted members of the public.

One of the songs performed for Meghan and Harry at the concert was Ben E King’s Stand By Me, which was sang during the couple’s wedding ceremony back in May.

Earlier, they rubbed shoulders with GAA royalty as they called into Croke Park.

After kicking off the second day of their Irish visit with a trip to Aras an Uachtarain, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex paid a visit to GAA headquarters, where 14 people were killed by British forces on Bloody Sunday in 1920.

Having donned a grey Roland Mouret dress in the morning, Meghan changed into a chic black Givenchy trouser suit for her trip to Croker, accessorised with black Manolo Blahnik stilettos.

Galway’s hurling sharp shooter Joe Canning, who Prince Harry described as “a bit of a God”, and Donegal football star Michael Murphy joined the pair on the pitch to show off some of their sporting skills along with Dublin football all-star Lyndsey Davey and Cork’s dual star Rena Buckley.

The royal couple were welcomed onto the iconic sporting ground by Tanaiste Simon Coveney, Junior Minister for Tourism and Sport Brendan Griffin and top GAA officials including President of the organisation John Horan and his wife Paula.

Both Harry and Meghan were presented with hurls on the pitch as a gift.

While his father Prince Charles previously tried his hand at the sport during a royal visit last year, Harry turned down the chance to hit a sliotar in Croker.

Along with some of the GAA’s top talent, some young players from across the country gathered at the stadium to mingle for the royals.

Harry took interest in the helmet that child Tom Whooley from Clonakilty in Co Cork was wearing while playing hurling.

“Have you taken a ball in the face - or have you put a ball in some else’s face?” the Prince joked.

He then asked: “Is this the first time you’ve played on this grass? What does it mean to you?”

While the eight-year-old was too shy to respond to the royal, Harry smiled and added: “Surely it’s a big deal, yes?”

Crowds queued for hours to catch a glimpse of Meghan and Harry today throughout the tour.
