A cheeky major offered parenting advice to the Duchess of Cambridge as she celebrated St Patrick's Day with husband William by watching the traditional parade of the Irish guards today.

William, who has been colonel of the regiment since 2011, arrived with Kate on this morning for the couple's annual visit to the 1st Battalion at its base in Hounslow, west London.

During their visit, in a tradition stretching back more than a century, Kate presented sprigs of shamrock to officers and warrant officers, before a march past where her husband took the salute.

After watching the 350 soldiers march on Parade Square Kate was given a cheeky piece of parenting advice while cooing over a 12-week-old sleeping newborn.
