Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge or Kate Middleton, wore shamrock green during several solo appearances on St. Patrick’s Day 2012. Kate Middleton visited Aldershot Barrack on March 17th, 2012 wearing an emerald green Emilia Wickstead coat dress. Kate accessorized the stylish and functional number with a brown Lock and Co. Betty Boop’ fascinator hat and matching brown suede pumps. The shamrock-spirited dress coat was perfect for the dreary-looking, rainy countryside.
Kate Middleton presented the 1st Battalion Irish Guards with shamrocks, a St. Patrick’s day tradition, while wearing a gold shamrock broach previously worn by the Queen Mother. Kate sipped on a glass of Harvey’s Bristol Creme in the Junior’s Mess during her visit at the Aldershot Barrack.
