Prince William, The Duke of Cambridge, and Kate Middleton, The Duchess of Cambridge, have arrived in Ireland to begin their three-day tour of the country.
The couple’s first stop was Áras an Uachtaráin, where they were greeted warmly by Irish President Micheal D Higgins and his wife Sabina.
The couples posed for photographs together in front of the waiting press.

Prince William and Kate then signed the Áras an Uachtaráin visitors book, a tradition overseen by the Irish presidency.
The couple wrote separate messages in the book rather than a joint statement.
Prince William took a moment to sign his name in the tome before Catherine took her seat to pen a message of her own.
The pair are both wearing green in homage to Ireland’s national colour for the visit.
Duchess Kate has opted for a chic high-necked green dress by Alessandra Rich and evergreen dress coat by Catherine Walker for the occasion, accessorised with a trendy black Prada bump headband.
Prince William is dressed in a dapper navy suit with a green tie that compliments Duchess Catherine’s dress coat.
