Kate Middleton and Prince William have already started their St Patrick's Day celebrations by attending the traditional parade of the Irish Guards in Hounslow, West London.

Clearly feeling the luck of the Irish, Kate stuck to the traditional Paddy's Day colour scheme, in a green custom made Alexander Wang coat, which she teamed with a matching hat, clutch bag and even emerald earrings.

Following the parade, Kate handed out shamrocks to officers, which is a tradition that dates all the way back to 1901.

And it's not just officers who got the shamrock treatment, the Duchess made sure to not leave out the the guard's mascot, Domhnall, who just so happens to be an Irish Wolfhound.

Post parade, both William and Kate will get to celebrate with a pint of the brown stuff - that's Guinness to you non-Irish folk. Which, by the looks of it, the Duchess is absolutely buzzing about, and who can blame her tbh. Especially seeing as last year she had to miss out on the tradition due to being pregnant with Prince Louis.

While Kate went with head-to-toe green, William looked especially dapper in his red and black military uniform. It's enough to make us consider joining Uniform Dating again if we're honest with you.

Although with Harry officially out of the game, is there really any point anymore?
