The Princess of Wales stepped out for a solo engagement on Tuesday as the royal headed to the Irish Guards St Patrick’s Day Parade at Mons Barracks, Hampshire.
Kate attends the annual service in her capacity as Colonel of the Irish Guards, although she missed the event back in 2024 due to her health issues at the time.
She was seen in a green outfit at the event, styling an oversized coat, beret and a black belt.
At last year’s event, the royal mother-of-three spoke about her travel plans with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, revealing that she hoped to return to Australia and New Zealand with the trio in tow.
