The Duchess of Cambridge, future Queen of Britian, Kate Middleton looked stunning in a beautiful Catherine Walker forest-green coat and Gina Foster hat while attending the royal’s traditional St. Patrick’s day festivities.

The duchess, who is due in April with the couple’s third child visited with the guards, participated in the annual parade, and stopped to pet the Irish wolfhound Domnhall, the Irish Guards’ mascot. Middleton wearing her own sprig of shamrocks on her lapel, leaned down to attach a sprig of shamrocks to Domnhall’s collar.

Since Middleton is pregnant, she did wisely skip on the pint of Guinness in favor of a glass of water. Prince William, however, looked to have enjoyed his beer during the celebration. The prince, who is the Colonel of the Irish Guards,  looked handsome in his uniform.

Middleton reportedly cradled her pregnant tummy while talking and visiting with the guards. She looked ravishing and was full of smiles enjoying the day’s festivities. It’s no wonder the duchess has so many fans who not only admire her fashion choices but how she conducts herself in public.
