As Colonel of the Irish Guards, The Princess of Wales has items of jewellery relating to the Guards, one being a Shamrock brooch, the other is the Guards Regimental Brooch.
Catherine wore the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch during Trooping the Colour 2025 having made its debut during Trooping in 2024. The brooch also made an appearance when The Princess opted to wear it for a service to mark Armistice Day 2025.
Let’s take a look at the brooch in greater detail.
The Regimental Brooch features an eight-point star that takes the shape that can be found in the Order of St. Patrick, who is the Patron saint of Ireland.
Overlaying the star is a shamrock and a cross of St. Patrick.
Around the shamrock is a motto of the Order of St. Patrick which reads ‘Quis separtabit’, meaning ‘Who will separate us?’.
