Kate Middleton broke a 121-year-long royal tradition on St Patrick's Day

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge returned to Cavalry Barracks in Hounslow to celebrate St Patrick's day by attending the annual parade, with the 1st Battalion of the Irish Guards today.

It marks the first time Prince William and Kate have been able to attend the event in two years, with the celebrating called off in 2021 due to the pandemic and the parade cancelled in 2020 due to most of the regiment being deployed overseas.

This year, the couple picked back up their annual tradition of presenting the gift of sprigs of shamrock to officers and guardsmen who then distribute them across the rank.
