Kate Middleton Nearly Falls!
Kate Middleton attended the St. Patrick’s Day Parade with the Irish Guards. Yesterday morning, the Princess of Wales was at Mons Barracks as she is the colonel of the Irish Guards. Thus, it has become a tradition for her to join the St. Patrick’s Day parade. The royal observers know that the Princess of Wales gives sprigs of shamrock and wears a coat in the shade of green.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton used to attend the event along with her husband, Prince William. Earlier, he was the colonel of the Irish Guards. In 2013, the Princess of Wales suffered a mishap, and Prince William had to intervene. At the parade, while handing out traditional shamrocks, her shoe’s heel was stuck in a drain cover. She could not free herself without using her husband.
Fortunately, William was there to help Kate. She was able to bend down to free her footwear before moving on with the ceremony. Meanwhile, Kate Middleton made an emotional comeback to the event as she missed it in 2024 due to her cancer diagnosis. When she returned, she awarded medals to the soldiers and gave the sprigs of shamrock to officers and guardsmen at Wellington Barracks in London.
Kate Middleton Is The Colonel!
Furthermore, Kate Middleton also put money behind the bar so the regiment could enjoy the drink. She said that it was the least she could do. Then the Princess of Wales went into the barracks where the soldiers raised a toast in her honour. She even sipped half a pint of Guinness while talking to soldiers and their families.
During her visit, the Princess of Wales talked to section commanders in the bar about her husband’s beard. She said that she wasn’t sure how long he was going to keep it. Then, in December 2023, Kate became the colonel of the Irish Guards.
