Kate Makes a Triumphant Return to St. Patrick’s Day Celebration
It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen the Princess of Wales at the Irish Guards’ St. Patrick’s Day parade, but this year, she made a triumphant return.
After missing last year’s celebration due to health reasons, Kate is back to celebrate with the Guards at Wellington Barracks in London.
A Stylish Arrival
Kate, who now serves as the colonel of the Irish Guards after stepping into the role from her husband, Prince William, looked stunning in a green Alexander McQueen coat dress.
She accessorized with black heeled boots, a beret, and a lovely shamrock pin to mark the occasion.
Kate’s lucky green ensemble made sure she stood out as she returned to this annual tradition after two years away.
Behind the Bar for the Guards
In a warm and personal gesture, Kate went behind the bar and served drinks to the guardsmen, saying it was “the least she could do.
” It’s clear that despite her royal duties, Kate enjoys engaging with the people and making them feel appreciated.
This down-to-earth moment was captured by GB News’ royal editor, Cameron Walker.
A Day of Traditions and Honors
The Princess of Wales didn’t just stop at serving drinks—she also took part in some of the day’s most important traditions.
She will be awarding long service and good conduct medals to soldiers and presenting sprigs of shamrock to the officers and guardsmen.
She’ll also take the salute as colonel during a march-past, and spend time with both veterans and junior cadets known as the Mini Micks.
Later, she’ll join the senior guardsmen in the dining hall where they’ll raise a toast in her honor.
A Familiar Face: Seamus the Irish Wolfhound
One of the highlights of the day is the presence of Seamus, the Irish Guards’ mascot, an adorable Irish Wolfhound
. He’s always a favorite at these celebrations, adding an extra touch of charm to the event.
Looking Back to Last Year
Last year, Kate was unable to attend due to health reasons, but the Guards made sure to honor her by giving three cheers for their colonel.
Kate has been gradually returning to public life after undergoing treatment for cancer, and this marks one of her most significant engagements since her recovery.
The Wales vs. England Rugby Match
In addition to the St. Patrick’s Day festivities, the royal couple recently attended the Wales vs. England Six Nations match.
William and Kate, known for their friendly rivalry in sports, were seated on opposing sides of the stadium.
William is the patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, while Kate supports the Rugby Football Union.
Family Time and Rugby Chats
Before the match, the couple visited injured players at the Sir Tasker Watkins Suite, a space set up to support players and their families.
William, who is also patron of the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust, spoke with the players and their loved ones about the challenges of recovering from serious injuries.
Kate shared a personal tidbit about their family life, mentioning how she and William often watch their sons, George and Louis, play rugby on the weekends, braving the freezing weather.
George, who’s 11, plays a bit more seriously, while 6-year-old Louis has just started playing touch rugby.
It sounds like a busy but fun weekend routine for the family!
A Busy Day at the Stadium
The couple also met several notable figures from the Welsh Rugby Union before taking their seats to watch the match.
After England’s dominant 68-14 win, William and Kate took the time to visit both the Wales and England changing rooms to speak with the players.
They then took a moment to meet with Rodrigo Gonzalez, co-founder of Notpla, the company behind the Earthshot Prize-winning plastic-free food packaging initiative.
The Royals were on hand to celebrate the rollout of this eco-friendly innovation across Welsh stadiums.
There’s always something exciting happening with the royal family, whether it’s a day of tradition with the Irish Guards or a friendly sporting rivalry on the rugby field.
With Kate making her return to public duties after a health battle, it’s clear she’s back and as dedicated to her roles as ever.
