Princess of Wales seems to be radiant in inexperienced as she visits Irish Guards for St Patrick’s Day parade

The Princess of Wales looked radiant in green as she visited the Irish Guards for a St Patrick’s Day parade. 

Princess Catherine, who is colonel of the regiment, greeted officers and guardsmen at Mons Barracks in Aldershot this morning. 

She was seen presenting sprigs of shamrock to members of the regiment – and even to their mascot, an Irish wolfhound called Seamus. 

The annual parade will come to an end with a royal salute from the Princess, 44, as the guardsmen complete a march-past. 

Last year, Princess Catherine marked her first solo St Patrick’s Day parade as colonel of the Irish Guards.

She was awarded the title in 2023 but was forced to miss the parade the following year as she underwent treatment for cancer.
