Kate Middleton made sure to issue a personal and heartfelt apology to the Irish Guards, the regiment she represents as an honorary colonel, for missing their rehearsals prior to Trooping the Colour. The official X, formerly Twitter, account for the regiment shared a snippet of the letter, signed by Kate herself, aka “Colonel Catherine.”
“I wanted to write and let you know how proud I am of the entire regiment ahead of the Colonel’s Review and Trooping of the Colour,” part of her letter read. “Being your colonel remains a great honor 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.”
PR advisor Rhea Freeman told GB News that even King Charles himself is hopeful that Kate makes it to the event as it will apparently indicate the monarchy’s return to stability. “From everything I’ve read and seen, I would imagine that the King would be delighted to have her there,” she said. But let’s not hold our breath. Kate is very much focused on recovery, and before we know it, she will be back in action. “Everything I hear is that she will be back to work,” Vanity Fair royal correspondent Katie Nicholl shared with The Sun. “She’s coming back 100 per cent to pick up as Princess of Wales and do the great work she was doing before. It will just be in her time and she’s ready and crucially when she gets the sign off from her medical team.”
