She tweeted, “NEW: Kensington Palace announces that the Princess of Wales, Colonel, Irish Guards, will visit the regiment at the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Wellington Barracks."

“As Colonel of the Irish Guards she will attend its annual St. Patrick's Day Parade, presenting traditional sprigs of shamrock to the soldiers - and, of course, the Irish Wolf Hound regimental mascot.”
Rebecca added, “The princess will also take the salute and meet veterans of the Irish Guards and ‘Mini Micks’, junior cadets from Northern Ireland. She will also visit the Junior Ranks dining hall, where the Senior Guardsman in the Battalion will propose a toast to the Princess.”
The announcement has delighted the royal fans with one saying “Wonderful to see the Princess out and about in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day.”
