“It is an honor to be your colonel.” absent from Trooping the Color, Kate Middleton writes a letter to her soldiers;

Kate Middleton was reticent when she announced she had cancer. The Princess of Wales continues her recovery surrounded by her family at her Adelaide Cottage home. But this Saturday, June 8, he broke his silence by sending a letter to the Irish Guards, of which he is colonel, who will be marching in London on June 15 as part of Trooping the Color. The event is a military gathering to celebrate the official birthday of British sovereign King Charles III. A week before their traditional parade, Prince William’s wife wanted to apologize for her absence and thus encourage her troops.

“I wanted to write to you to tell you how proud I am of the whole regiment as we approach the Colonel’s review and the call to The Coulour. I appreciate that this year all participants have trained for months and put in many hours to ensure their uniforms and drills are impeccable. It remains an honor to be your Colonel, and I deeply regret not being able to welcome you this year. Please convey my apologies to the entire regiment. I hope very soon to be able to introduce you again,” he wrote in a letter signed “Colonel Catherine,” as we find in a letter published by the Irish Guards in X .

Words that went straight to the hearts of the Irish guards. “The Irish Guards were deeply moved when they received a letter this morning from our Colonel Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales. We continue to wish His Royal Highness a speedy recovery and send him our best wishes,” they wrote in the caption of their post. Similarly, the missus gave hope to the fans of the royal family, as Kate Middleton’s words seemed reassuring. “What a lovely letter from our Princess of Wales. We look forward to seeing you again soon,” we can also read in the comments.

The Trooping the Color ceremony will be attended by King Charles III with his wife, Queen Camilla. If Prince William spends a lot of time with his wife, Kate Middleton, however, one would think that he would also attend, either alone or with his children, the event held in his father’s honor.
