As St. Patrick's Day approaches, it’s time to break out the green gear, grab your "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" T-shirt and, of course, get ready to toast with a green beer. Some cities, like Chicago, even go all out and dye their rivers bright green—yes, you read that right. But while St. Patrick's Day celebrations are going strong in the U.S., London is getting a special treat this year: Kate Middleton will be making her return to the St. Patrick’s Day parade at Wellington Barracks to visit the Irish Guards.
Kensington Palace confirmed that the Princess of Wales will be back for this annual tradition, according to People, marking her first time attending the event since she missed last year due to health reasons. Middleton underwent abdominal surgery in January 2024 and later shared her cancer diagnosis in March, making her return to this year's event all the more special.
