Kate Middleton got candid about not being able to head the regiment of Irish Guards at Trooping the Colour in an emotional letter.
The regiment took to X, formerly Twitter, to share the note being read out to troops as they prepare for the event in June 15.The letter read: “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.
“I appreciate everyone trooping this year has been practicing for months, and dedicating many hours to ensuring their uniforms and drill are immaculate.
“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.
“Please pass my apologies to the whole Regiment, however I do hope that I am able to represent you all once again very soon.
