Sinn Féin's Vice President has accepted an invitation to attend King Charles' coronation in May
Sinn Féin's Vice President Michelle O'Neill said she has accepted an invitation to attend King Charles' coronation next month, and is doing so in the hope of "advancing peace".
The coronation of King Charles III and Camilla, which is marked for May 6 at Westminster Abbey in London, is the first time in history an Irish head of state will attend the crowning of a monarch since Irish independence.Ms O'Neill confirmed her attendance at the event this Wednesday afternoon in a social media post, forming one of close to 2,000 individuals who have been officially invited to the ceremony.
Ms O'Neill had to relinquish her office of Deputy First Minister last year following the resignation of Paul Givan, and despite Sinn Féin gaining the majority vote in the electorate in 2022, she has not taken up the official First Minister position as the DUP refuse to elect a Deputy First Minister, citing dissatisfaction with the Northern Ireland Protocol.
