After attending a garden partyat the residence of the British Ambassador last night, Prince Harry and Meghan have spent this morning at Áras An Uachtaráin.

While there, they met with president Michael D. Higgins and his wife Sabina but they also got to spend time with some lesser heralded members of the Presidential family.

Shadow and Bród looked only delighted to meet the Royal Couple…

Despite the excitement, one reporter had the World Cup on his mind and it seems Harry did too…
