The duchess presented sprigs of shamrock to some 300 soldiers on parade and Irish wolfhound Domhnall - the regiment's mascot. Prince William was made an honorary colonel of the regiment in 2011. The event, at Mons Barracks, dates back to 1901. The presentation of the shamrocks was previously performed by the late Queen Mother. |
