Princess Kate's St. Patrick's Day Outfit Proves She's Taking a Page From Queen Elizabeth's Playbook

Kate Middleton wearing a green coat with a serious expression on St Patrick's Day 2025.

Kate Middleton made her elegant return to St. Patrick's Day duties on Monday, March 17, attending the annual parade in London in her role as Colonel of the Irish Guards. The Princess of Wales looked gorgeous in a repeat green Alexander McQueen coat for her first time attending the event since 2023—and her look is in keeping with a growing trend in the royal's wardrobe.

The princess chose the same tailored bottle green coat that she wore for a 2022 trip to Boston, pairing it with the petal-trimmed Lock & Co. hat she wore for the 2019 St. Patrick's Day festivities. She accessorized with an old favorite pair of green tourmaline and diamond Kiki McDonough drop earrings and the traditional Irish Guards gold shamrock brooch, carrying the black Grace Han Love Letter bag she carried over the weekend to the Six Nations Rugby game with Prince William.
