Dame Arlene wrote that 'far too much in my view' had been said about the meeting.
Arlene Foster has hit out at the "intense" media coverage of Sinn Féin meeting King Charles III during his first visit to Northern Ireland as monarch.
The Stormont Assembly Speaker, Sinn Féin's Alex Maskey, delivered a message of condolence on behalf of the people of Northern Ireland. The former First Minister, who also joined the church service, remarked on Irish president Michael D Higgins being among those who attended from the Republic. Dame Arlene said the Queen's historic visit to the Republic in 2011 "showed tremendous leadership in reaching out to those who would not be royalists by nature".
