The Princess wore her ecru Zara Textured Double Breasted Blazer with a familiar yet unidentified knit top.  She contrasted the ecru tones with blue jeans, and completed her look by wearing the Accessorize Pearl and Disc Hoop Earrings.

Princess Kate debuts Irish Blue Catherine Walker coat for St Patrick's Day Parade

17/3/2023

The Prince and Princess of Wales attended the Irish Guards St. Patrick's Day Parade on Friday at Mons Barracks in Aldershot, England.

Catherine attended the traditional celebration for the first time as Colonel of the Regiment since taking on the role from Prince William. She presented fresh shamrock sprigs to the officers and guardsmen, and later made a speech.
The royal couple posed for official photos then joined senior guardsmen for a celebratory drink.

Kate looked impeccable in a military-inspired teal coat crafted by London-based atelier, Catherine Walker.
Embed from Getty Images
The shade is departure from the usual dark green she tends to favor for St Patrick's Day. According to Kate Middleton Style, the new colour choice was intentional and reflects the hue of the Irish Guards’ plume and their regimental badge. The colour is officially called "St Patrick's Blue". This can be seen on Prince William's Irish Guards uniform during Trooping the Colour, as shown below.

Gert's Royals notes the buttons on Kate’s coat follow the same pattern as the ones found on the Irish Guards uniform - four buttons followed by a gap and another four buttons. The standup collar is also inspired by the regimentals.

The made-to-order hat features a hand-sculptured heart-shaped base made from a luxurious felt with a tonal pleated crin detail which fans around the side.

During the occasion, Kate carried a new variation of her favourite Emmy London 'Natasha' clutch in the colorway called Lake. Additionally, she also brought along a new pair of teal leather gloves by Dents.
