Although the visit has yet to be officially confirmed, local media has stated the visit is expected to include an emotional visit to Mullaghmore - Queen Elizabeth II’s second cousin, Lord Louis Mountbatten, was killed along with one of his twin grandsons, Nicholas, 14; Paul Maxwell, 15, a local employed as a boat boy and Lady Brabourne (83) in an IRA bombing in 1979.

It is also believed that Prince Charles intends to visit Lissadell House.
