Kate Middleton confronts a woman in Northern Ireland
Kate, Princess of Wales, was confronted by a woman and said she was not 'in her own country' while traveling in Northern Ireland this afternoon.
The exchange took place when Kate and William, the new Prince and Princess of Wales, were arranging an impromptu meeting with locals in North Belfast.
Shaking hands with Kate in Carrickfergus, the Irish nationalist said: "Nice to meet you, but it would be better if it was when you were in your own country."
The woman, who wore an emerald green cardigan and appeared to be filming the exchange on a cellphone, added: "Ireland belongs to the Irish."
The encounter happened in what is a predominantly nationalist area of Belfast.
Although surprised by the remark, Kate remained calm throughout the brief incident and laughed at the comment before meeting other well-wishers.

The royal couple shared an image of the encounter on their Instagram page, but appeared to remove the woman who made the comment to Kate from the photo.
And Kate also shared a beaming smile with baby Barney, who showed off his teddy bear to the princess.
Kate seemed familiar with the plush toy, which she named "Bun 'Bun," before commenting, "I recognize those...our kids have quite a few."
Barney is the son of Laura-Ann, a prominent Instagrammer with 172,000 followers, and a passionate royalist to boot.
After meeting the royals, the mum said, "What a morning...I need to lay down after all this excitement."
