Princess Kate participated in a beloved St. Patrick's Day tradition Monday after missing the event last year due to health issues. Kate attended the Irish Guards' annual St. Patrick's Day parade Monday in London, an event she's attended regularly since 2012, making her absence at last year's parade stand out.

Kate Middleton attended the traditional parade consecutively beginning in 2012, which made her absence at the festival last year particularly notable. Five days after missing the 2024 St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Kate shared her cancer diagnosis with the public in a video shared on X.

Ireland’s patron saint is being celebrated around the world on Monday, and London will join in with the celebrations and partying. What started out as a religious feast to celebrate the saint who brought Christianity to Ireland has now become synonymous with partying,
