But for the Duke and [Duchess of Cambridge](http://motto.time.com/4625718/kate-middleton-35-birthday-best-outfits/?iid=sr-link2), it’s an occasion to go above and beyond with [green fashion](http://time.com/4699771/green-irish-st-patricks-day-color/?iid=sr-link2)—and, yes, beer consumption. On Friday, the royal representatives met with soldiers of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards in west London after their parade; Will is the [honorary colonel](https://twitter.com/KensingtonRoyal/status/842695965974958082) of the troupe. Will and Kate showed off their on-point attire and a penchant for festooning themselves with holiday-appropriate greenery during the festivities, as is traditional. They even got their fill of [Guinness](http://time.com/4699599/airbnb-dublin-guinness/?iid=sr-link1), the famously rich and dark Irish brew.
