As the royal family prepares to celebrate Trooping the Colour in less than a week, Kate Middleton is speaking out. Though the Princess of Wales has remained rather quiet this year — including after sharing a video that revealed she has been diagnosed with cancer — now she’s addressing the Irish Guards in a new letter. Though she was originally supposed to attend the parade ahead of the big event, now she’ll be skipping out on the festivities in light of her health crisis.
Kate sent the letter to a regiment of the British Army.
As the colonel of the Irish Guards, Kate was due to attend a parade called the Colonel’s Review, which is the Guards’ final rehearsal before participating in Trooping the Colour on Saturday. But because she’s no longer able to make it, she sent a letter apologizing that she would have to miss out.
Kate said she hopes she’ll be able to represent them again ‘very soon.’
“I wanted to write and let you know how proud I am of the entire Regiment ahead of the Colonel’s Review and Trooping the Colour,” she wrote. “I appreciate everyone trooping this year has been practicing for months, and dedicating many hours to ensuring their uniforms and drill are immaculate.”
Kate continued, “Being your Colonel remains a great honour, and I am very sorry that I’m unable to take the salute at this year’s Colonel’s Review.”
The love and respect seem to be mutual.
Lt. Col. James Shaw issued a statement to GB News on behalf of the part of the military that performs in Trooping the Colour.
