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.

The Duchess of Cornwall met the proud parents and Major Ben Irwin-Clark joked 'a drop of whiskey in the milk' kept his young son resting peacefully

He quickly added 'not its a joke' much to the amusement of Kate Middleton, who then offered up her own maternal wisdom

As the adorable infant slept, Major Ben Irwin-Clark joked 'a drop of whiskey in the milk' kept his young son resting peacefully.

But he quickly adds 'no its a joke', causing the group to laugh at the quip.

Kate later asked the company commanded of number two company, 'Is he a good sleeper?'

'Oh well enjoy, it just gets better and better,' she added, imparting some maternal wisdom as she waved goodbye.

Since 1901, when the regiment was first founded by order of Queen Victoria, the tradition has traditionally been presided over by a woman - with the exception of 1950, when King George VI presented the shamrocks to mark the regiment's 50 anniversary.

The shamrock's three heart-shaped leaves represent Ireland and the Holy Trinity. God and country and, on St Patrick's Day every year, it's handed out to Irish Guards who fight and die in the British Armed Forces.

In times of war, the shamrock is shipped out to them to be tucked into their Kevlar helmets, and for those at home the ultimate honour is to have it presented by a senior female member of the royal family family.

The tradition which began in 1901 later became the trademark of the Queen Mother who maintained it until she died - once missing her favourite day's racing at Cheltenham to be at the St Patrick's Day parade.

It was later taken up by Princess Anne, however since 2012 the duty has fallen to the Duchess of Cambridge whose husband is the current royal colonel of the Irish Guards.

Kate has attended every year since - except for 2016, with her decision to remain at Anmer Hall with her two young children causing controversy - and is dressed in head-to-toe green.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
