The Princess of Wales has delighted members of the Irish Guards in London with a sweet gesture in honour of St Patrick’s Day. Kate, decked out head-to-toe in festive green with an Alexander McQueen coat dress and matching hat, put money behind the bar following the annual parade at Westminster.

Kate Middleton attended the traditional parade consecutively beginning in 2012, which made her absence at the festival last year particularly notable. Five days after missing the 2024 St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Kate shared her cancer diagnosis with the public in a video shared on X.

Princess Kate has marked 125 years of the Irish Guards joining a St Patrick’s Day parade by the regiment. Before the parade at Wellington Barracks in Central London, the Princess of Wales presented medals to soldiers who were recently deployed to Iraq.
