BRITAIN-IRELAND-ROYALS-POLITICS-HISTORY

Britain's Prince Charles, Prince of Wales (L) and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall (R) visit the harbour in the village of Mullaghmore in Ireland on May 20, 2015 where the prince's great-uncle Lord Mountbatten was killed in an IRA explosion in 1979. Britain's Prince Charles spoke of his "anguish" at the murder of his godfather by IRA paramilitaries in 1979 as he became the first royal to visit the assassination site in Ireland. Charles remembered Lord Louis Mountbatten as "the grandfather I never had" on an emotional trip to the rugged coastline, saying he understood the suffering of the Irish people in "a profound way". Peter McHugh helped with the rescue effort in the aftermath of the 1979 attack.
