☘️ Happy #StPatricksDay!
The Prince of Wales, outgoing Colonel of the Irish Guards was joined by The Princess of Wales, incoming Colonel, at the Regiment’s annual St. Patrick's Day Parade.
Following a recent visit to the 1st Battalion Irish Guards on Salisbury Plain, the visit was the first time that The Princess attended the parade as Colonel of the Regiment. Her Royal Highness presented the traditional sprigs of shamrock to the Officers and Guardsmen, and to Seamus - the Regiment’s Irish Wolfhound mascot.
"Whilst I am extremely happy to be here celebrating St Patrick’s Day with you once again, I’m incredibly sad to be giving this speech, as it really does mean my time as your Colonel has come to an end. It has been one of the great honours of my life to hold that title; I’m proud of everything it stands for – just as I’m immensely proud of every single one of you." - The Prince of Wales
"I really couldn’t be prouder to stand in front of you here today. It really is a true honour to be your Colonel. I am here to listen to you, to support you, and to champion you in all you do – this is a responsibility I do not take lightly." - The Princess of Wales.
