QuoteDuke and Duchess of Cambridge will mark St. Patrick's Day with Irish Guards
After facing heavy criticism last year for not attending the St. Patrick's Day Parade and presenting shamrocks to members of the Irish Guards, both the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be attending the ceremony before their flight to Paris on 17 March. Last year, the Duke, who is Colonel of the Irish Guards, went solo. No reason was given for why the Duchess did not attend last year, but it was the first time a female member of the Royal Family missed the event in over 100 years. Catherine took over the responsibility of presenting shamrocks from Anne, Princess Royal.
The Duke and Duchess will visit the Irish Guards in Hounslow at the Cavalry Barracks and present shamrocks after 350 members of the 1st Battalion march on parade. They will be led by their mascot, the Irish Wolfhound Domhnall. Following Domhnall, 350 soldiers will march on to Parade Square. The Duchess will then step forward and present shamrocks to Officers and Warrant Officers who will pass it to others down the ranks.
The parade will then conclude with the soldiers marching past Prince William who will receive their salute. Their Royal Highnesses will then meet regiment members before sitting for official mess photographs with Officers and Serjeants.
