Should Queen Elizabeth be invited to Ireland?

Im open to correction here but I thought Prince Charles did just that on a visit here a few years ago.
As I say I could be wrong.

That was Blair'

Tony Blair’s half-hearted attempt in 1997 to atone for the Irish famine probably did more harm than good.

Did Tony Blair really feel dreadful about the Irish potato famine when he apologised for that in 1997? Er, no. But it was more than helpful to the Irish peace process that he should make the gesture. And anyway, as with his apology to the Conlon and Maguire families over their wrongful imprisonments, the sin wasn't his fault. Still, it managed to make him look less stony faced and more like a regular, emoting human being and that had to be a good thing.
