Kate Middleton has made a stylish return to her St. Patrick’s Day duties.
On Monday, the Princess of Wales, 43, took a trip to Wellington Barracks in Westminster in London for the annual holiday parade. Middleton reprised her role as Colonel of the Irish Guards after missing the 2024 celebration due to her cancer battle.
The princess looked gorgeous in head-to-toe green, wearing a dark Alexander McQueen coat and a matching beret-style hat with floral details from Lock & Co.

Both pieces have been in Middleton’s closet for years; She rocked the same coat during a trip to Boston in 2022, and flaunted her floral adorned hat in 2019 for the same St. Patrick’s Day event.
The pre-worn details continued, as she donned her favorite black suede knee-high boots and green tourmaline and diamond Kiki McDonough earrings.
She also carried the Grace Han black bag — the same purse she brought to the Six Nations Rugby game in Cardiff on Sunday.

Middleton finished her bundled-up look with a green scarf and black gloves.
She embellished her on-theme ensemble with a shamrock brooch on her coat that features a tiny, single emerald and 18-karat gold leaves. Believed to have been designed by Cartier, the piece was loaned to the royal family by the Irish Guards and has previously been worn by the Queen Mother and Princess Anne.
Middleton also added a bundle of real clovers, shoved into her front shoulder pocket, as is tradition at the annual event.
She later sipped on a Guinness beer at the celebration.

Green is a go-to for the princess during St. Patrick’s Day celebrations with the Irish Guards. In 2023, Middleton made the surprising decision to join Prince William at the parade in a bright turquoise coat and matching hat.
The Catherine Walker look featured a custom coat dress with sharp, military-inspired tailoring.
The midi-length piece was completed with eight covered buttons marching down the front and a high, notched collar along with shoulder pads and sharp pleats extending from the neckline.
No matter the holiday, we can always look forward to Middleton’s impressively on-theme outfits.
