One topic of conversation has been banned for Harry and Meghan's Dublin trip

The Sussexs are coming!

Ireland will welcome Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Dublin next month but there’s one topic that Irish officials have been told not to mention.

Royal decrees have been issued warning Irish ministers not to bring up Brexit with the royal couple.

A similar diktat was issued for the visit of Harry’s father Prince Charles and his wife Camilla to Cork and Kerry earlier this month.

Royals are supposed to remain neutral on political matters but Meghan’s father revealed what Prince Harry really thinks of Britain leaving the EU

Thomas Markle told Good Morning Britain that his son-in-law had told him he was “open to the experiment” of Brexit.

Harry and Meghan will be in Dublin on June 10 and 11.

“The Duke and Duchess are looking forward to learning more about Ireland’s history and experiencing its rich culture, as well as meeting the people who are shaping the country’s future,” a palace source said of the visit.

It is believed they will go to Trinity College as well as meet President Michael D Higgins at Aras an Uachtaran while here.

It won’t be the first visit on these shores for the couple – they visited Belfast on a day trip back in March.

The list comes ahead of a busy autumn of travel for Meghan and Harry who are due to take a tour of Australia, Fiji, the Kingdom of Tonga, and New Zealand later this year.
