Prince William and Kate Middleton rocked their usual looks for the latest St. Patrick's Day celebrations – Kate in green and William in his uniform. The royal mom sported a forest green Alexander McQueen coat that she topped with a matching fascinator. The Duchess kept her hair pulled back and accessorized with a pair of green tourmaline and green amethyst Kiki McDonough earrings.
