The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined the Irish Guards at Mons Barracks in Aldershot for the annual St. Patrick's Day parade.
The Duchess presented shamrocks to members of the regiment.
She also gave one to the Irish Guards mascot, Domhnall - an Irish wolfhound.
Kate looked festive in a bespoke forest green Catherine Walker coat.
The double-breasted design bears a resemblance to the red Catherine Walker 'Russian Greatcoat' she wore on arrival in New Zealand for the royal tour in 2014. The new coat is fashioned with gold buttons, and a contrasting velvet collar and cuffs.
Green has been the colour of choice for Kate at this traditional event, except for when she surprised us in 2015 by wearing a chestnut brown ensemble. You may recall that the Duchess was absent from last year's parade which didn't go down well with the public and the media.
Kate extended the green theme to her accessories. She complemented the outfit with her Monica Vinader Green Onyx Siren Wire Earrings and deep green Lock & Co hat by Sylvia Fletcher.
Kate's new suede pumps are a bespoke pair from Emmy London.
They are the 'Rebecca' model in greenery suede available via Emmy's bespoke service.
In addition to new shoes, there was also a new clutch bag.
18 MAR 2017: ID UPDATE
The green croc-embossed clutch bag is by a Polish brand, Etui which was available at Topshop (sold out) - thanks to the WhatKateWore community for the ID! You can find the crocodile-effect clutch on eBay in a range of colours.
Here we catch a glimpse of the Cartier Ballon Bleu Watch.
As expected, the Duchess donned the Irish Guards gold shamrock brooch. The three-leaf brooch belongs to the regiment and they loan it to Kate for the occasion.
Here's a closer look at Kate's beautiful up-do.
Next up, Kate will fly over the English Channel to commence a two-day visit to Paris with Prince William! They are due to arrive around 4:30 pm (local time). On arrival in Paris, The Duke and Duchess will meet with French President François Hollande at the Élysée Palace. See you then!
