- Description
The cartoon shows Queen Elizabeth smiling broadly and at the same time saying 'They are not amused' as she holds a letter headed 'Queen's visit to IREland' (wordplay on 'Ireland' and 'ire' meaning 'anger'). A second version includes the text 'rePUBLIC RELATIONS'. Context - The four-day state visit to the Republic of Ireland on 17 May by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh is the first state visit to the Irish Republic by a British monarch since independence. The 'royal visit has to be seen as part of a journey; there are still many miles to travel' says Sinn Fein leader Jerry Adams. 'But our country and our people are still divided. The British still claim jurisdiction over the North, even though this is now in a conditional way, and there remain many legacy and justice issues that are unresolved.
