Spending the day saluting those risking their lives for the good of the kingdom, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, attended the Irish Guards Medal Parade in Windsor, England on Saturday (June 25).
The newlyweds took to the Victoria Barracks to present service medals to members of the Irish Guards in celebration of the third annual Armed Forces Day.
Prince William, who happens to be the Colonel of the Irish Guards, and Kate also gave the special tributes of Elizabeth Crosses to the families of three members of the unit killed during the past six months of operations in Afghanistan.
Looking their best for the memorable occasion, William wore a black ceremonial uniform while the always-stylish Kate donned a black double-breasted coat with gold buttons topped off with a golden Irish shamrock brooch and matching hat.
With their itinerary set and just a week to go, Prince William and Duchess Catherine look ready to kick off their North American tour. 
In a new official portrait of the couple taken earlier this month in the gardens of Clarence House for their Canadian tour, Kate and William, both 29, are all smiles in matching navy blue attire (she previously sported this look at the couple's final pre-wedding public appearance in Lancashire, England).
So what's in store for the royal pair when they touch down in Canada June 30? The couple will dive right into their royal duties, and they'll take part in a wreath laying and book-signing event at the Ottawa National War Memorial at 2:35 p.m.
In the spirit of Canada Day, July 1, the newlyweds will celebrate with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his family at Ottawa's Parliament Hill. They'll also stop by Montreal, Quebec City, Charlottetown and Summerside, P.E.I., Yellowknife and Calgary throughout their trip.
Perhaps the highlight of their trip will be July 4, when William and his wife will face off in a dragonboat race on Prince Edward island.
