- Further return to the public eye
Princess Kate (43) is a colonel in the Irish Guards. She therefore took part in this year's St. Patrick's Day Parade at Wellington Barracks in London. The event was not only a celebration of Ireland's national day, but also the 125th anniversary of the Irish Guards. Kate presented the traditional shamrock branch, known as a shamrock, to officers, guardsmen and the unit's mascot, the Irish wolfhound Seamus.
Princess Kate enjoys a beer on St. Patrick's Day
Kate was warmly welcomed by the soldiers after she had generously placed money behind the bar to buy the soldiers a round of drinks. "It's the least I can do" she said. Guardsman Barry Loughlin remarked: "She just wanted to find out how everything’s going. She’s really nice in that respect, she doesn’t just disappear. She’s warm, and you feel welcomed by her"
During the celebrations, Princess Kate made an unusual move that we are not really used to seeing from her. As part of the celebrations, Kate enjoyed a glass of Guinness beer, continuing an old tradition that she started, but had to miss last year due to her cancer diagnosis.
Princess Kate honors soldiers with awards
In addition to the traditional shamrocks, the Princess also awarded medals for long service and good conduct to soldiers who had recently returned from Iraq. The event also provided an opportunity to speak with the families of soldiers, particularly those involved in training Ukrainian troops.
Princess Kate celebrates St. Patrick's Day again after cancer
This year's parade was particularly meaningful for Princess Kate, as it marked another return to public appearances after she recovered from her cancer. Last year, she missed the celebrations due to abdominal surgery and subsequent preventative chemotherapy. Despite the challenges of recent years, Kate was optimistic.
