Upon arrival at the Barracks, the Princess awarded long service and good conduct medals to the deserving soldiers within the regiment.

She then presented traditional sprigs of shamrock to Officers and Guardsmen, maintaining a cherished regimental tradition.

Princess Kate also presented shamrock to the Irish Wolf Hound, the regiment's mascot.

This ceremonial distribution of shamrock is one of the most iconic aspects of the St Patrick's Day celebration for the Irish Guards.

The parade concluded with a Royal Salute and march-past, where the Princess took the salute as Colonel.

Following the ceremony, Kate met with veterans of the Irish Guards and spent time with Mini Micks, junior cadets from Northern Ireland.

Kate Middleton's St. Patrick's Day celebration demonstrates her ongoing commitment to her military patronage.
