On March 17, The Duchess and her husband Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, attended the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Parade Square at Cavalry Barracks in West London, a tradition that dates back to 1901.
Some 350 soldiers from the Irish Guards marched in the parade, led by their mascot, Domhnall, an Irish wolfhound.

Middleton asked Irwin-Clark what their secret was to keeping the newborn baby so soundly asleep.
“Drop of whiskey in the milk,” Irwin-Clark hilariously replied before adding, “no it’s a joke.”
“Oh well enjoy, it just gets better and better,” said Kate, who has children George, Charlotte, and Louis with husband Prince William.
