Kate Middleton Stuns in a Sparkly Green Dress at the Guinness Storehouse – TownandCountrymag.com
It would have been almost impossible to carry out an official visit to Ireland and not enjoy one of its most famous drinks: Guinness. And so it is fitting that Duke and Duchess of Cambridge end the first day of their tour of Ireland in style with an evening out at the Guinness Storehouse.
Changing out of the green dress and coat she wore earlier in the day, Kate looked elegant in an emerald dress by the brand The Vampire’s Wife. She and William arrived by car at 7:30 p.m. and posed in front of the branded gates to the brewery.

The couple were then taken to the Storehouse’s Gravity Bar which offers panoramic views of Dublin. There they sampled the dark Irish dry stout that originated in the city, but is now brewed in almost 50 countries.
The Storehouse is Ireland’s most popular tourist attraction, and it even hosted the Queen during her 2011 visit where she was shown the art of pouring the perfect pint, although declined to try some.
Prince William made a few brief remarks at the event, beginning his speech by speaking in English and Irish, saying: “Ladies and Gentlemen, a dhaoine uaisle.” He said that he and Kate were “really excited” to be making the visit and pointed out that he was retracing the footsteps of his grandmother by visiting the Storehouse.
“Ladies and Gentlemen let me tell you it is not often that I find myself following the Queen to a pub! But I am looking forward to testing for myself the theory that Guinness tastes even better in Ireland than overseas!” he said.
This evening, William and Kate will also meet people from the creative arts, sport, business, and charity sectors in the reception hosted by the British Ambassador to Ireland.
Earlier in the day they were greeted by the Irish President Michael D. Higgins and the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar. They also followed in the Queen’s footsteps attending a wreath laying ceremony at the Garden of Remembrance to honor those who lost their lives fighting for Irish independence.
