Princess Kate looked polished as always when she made her return to the annual St. Patrick's Day parade with the Irish Guards on Monday, March 17. All eyes might have been on the royal's green Alexander McQueen coat—a piece she wore during a 2022 trip to Boston—but there was another subtle shout-out to Ireland in her St. Patrick's Day look that most fans probably didn't catch.
The Princess of Wales has been channeling Queen Elizabeth with her uniform-like approach to fashion this year, choosing a repeat coat and the same hat she wore for St. Patrick's Day in 2019. Adding the Irish Guards' gold Cartier shamrock brooch and an old favorite pair of green amethyst Kiki McDonough earrings, the royal looked perfectly festive for the holiday. However, her twisted updo also contained a tribute to St. Patrick's Day.
