Prince William met with boos while visiting Ulster University in Belfast
By Dallas Glenn
It appears some residents in Belfast, Northern Ireland were not happy to see the Prince of Wales recently.
Earlier this week, Prince William made a surprise visit to Belfast to meet with Irish Goodbye's James Martin. According to GB News' report, however, the Prince's visit was not appreciated by everybody.
Around 30 protesters supporting Palestine traveled to Ulster University so they could jeer Prince William and shame him and the Secretary of State Hilary Benn. Aside from the protesters, there was another group of 100 students who stayed relatively silent as the Prince made his entrance into a building.
According to other outlets' coverage of Prince William, the royal is actually one of the kinder members of the Royal Family. William recently traveled to South Africa for the Earthshot Prize Awards to reward those working to save the environment. He has also stated that he wants to make his style of leadership as empathetic as possible.
Overcoming a public setback to support Belfast's emerging creative sector
Once Prince William escaped the disapproval of the pro-Palestinian protesters, he toured Ulster University's facilities and learned more about the institution's work to sustain Northern Ireland's budding creative sector. GB News writes that Northern Ireland is becoming one of the world's most prominent creative industries, and resources like the Ulster Screen Academy provide the training needed for students to develop their skills and learn more about working in artistic fields.
During his tour, Prince William spent time with students learning how to operate virtual production software. This gave him a firsthand look at the teaching strategies Ulster University uses to train students and explain how their new skills could be used in the workforce.
It appears the aforementioned protests did not stop the Prince of Wales from enjoying his time learning about Ulster University's students and assets. Prince William's visit to Belfast was the first since June 2023.
