Beards aside, Princess Kate chatted with many members of the Irish Guards and their families at Monday's event, like Noah Hogan, whose father is the regiment's Company Sergeant Major. When hearing Noah played soccer, she said via Hello!, "Our kiddies play football. Do Mummy and Daddy come and watch? Do you like the idea of being in the Army too?"

Kate Middleton made rare comments about Princess Charlotte at the Irish Guards St. Patrick's Day parade on March 17, and what her only daughter has been doing "so much" of lately.
