The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are due to arrive in Paris shortly for a two-day visit, but before heading out of Britain, they made a stop at Cavalry Barracks in Hounslow to hand out shamrocks to the Irish Guards.

William was appointed Colonel of the Irish Guards shortly before his wedding in 2011. He and Kate have made several St. Patrick’s Day appearances in the years since to distribute shamrocks, and Kate always wears the same brooch: the gold and emerald shamrock brooch on loan to her from the regiment. The brooch was previously worn by the Queen Mother and the Princess Royal.

This year, Kate paired the brooch with the Siren Wire Earrings by Monica Vinader, which are set with green onyx. She debuted the pair during the Canadian tour last autumn. (See close-ups of the earrings over here!)

Here’s a better look at the brooch. In this close-up, from the Cambridges’ visit to Northern Ireland in June 2016, you can see that the brooch is textured, not smooth. (See how she styled the brooch on this occasion over here!)

The human members of the Irish Guards weren’t the only ones who received shamrocks. Kate also got to present shamrocks to the regiment’s mascot, an Irish Wolfhound named Domhnall.

This morning, many of the senior members of the British royal family gathered at Victoria Embankment Gardens in London for the unveiling of a new memorial honoring those who served in the Gulf, Iraq, and Afghanistan campaigns from 1990-2015. Here’s a look at the jewels they wore to honor both the members of the armed forces and those who supported them back home.

The Queen chose a brooch with a long royal and imperial history: Queen Mary’s Russian Sapphire Brooch. Empress Marie Feodorovna (mother of the last Russian tsar, sister of Queen Alexandra) gave the diamond and sapphire brooch to Queen Mary as a wedding present in 1893. It pairs a large diamond and a sugarloaf sapphire in a geometric scroll setting.

The Duchess of Cornwall wore one of her signature pearl necklaces: the four-stranded necklace with the diamond cross clasp. She also wore her usual diamond and pearl earrings and the cap badge of The Rifles. (She’s the Royal Colonel of the 4th Battalion.)

The Duchess of Cambridge wore the earrings and pendant necklace from her Collins Tanzanite Suite, a set that she’s chosen before for military commemoration events. She debuted the set almost exactly two years ago at a service of commemoration for those who served in Afghanistan. (Not sure about the hat, though…)

The Princess Royal wore a modern diamond and gold brooch, pairing it with her gold, sapphire, and pearl earrings.

Here’s a closer look at Anne’s unusual brooch (albeit obscured a little by the strap of her handbag).

The Countess of Wessex wore trendy pearl earrings. Like her sister-in-law, Camilla, Sophie also wore the cap badge of The Rifles, as she’s the Royal Colonel of the 5th Battalion.

The men of the Windsor family brought their medals along with them to the unveiling. The Duke of Edinburgh has so many now that they nearly stretch across his entire chest!

The Duke of Cambridge’s medal haul is a bit more modest: the Queen’s Golden Jubilee and Diamond Jubilee Medals.

The Duke of York has a few more: the South Atlantic Medal (with Rosette); the Queen’s Silver Jubilee, Golden Jubilee, and Diamond Jubilee Medals; the Naval Long Service and Good Conduct Medal (with two clasps); the Canadian Forces Decoration; and the New Zealand 1990 Commemoration Medal.

The Earl of Wessex has a medium-sized medal collection: the Queen’s Silver Jubilee, Golden Jubilee, and Diamond Jubilee Medals; the Canadian Forces Decoration; and the New Zealand 1990 Commemoration Medal. He also wears a signet ring on his left hand.

And finally, Prince Harry, who served in Afghanistan, spoke at the service. At his neck, he wore the badge of a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order. His medals, from left to right, are the Operational Service Medal for Afghanistan and the Queen’s Golden Jubilee and Diamond Jubilee Medals.
