Kate Middleton writes apology for missing Trooping the Colour rehearsal amid cancer treatment
Princess Kate has written to the Irish Guards, the
regiment of which she is honorary colonel, to express her
regret at missing their final rehearsal before next week’s
Trooping the Colour ceremony.
The Princess bowed out of the rehearsal event, known as
the Colonel’s Review, due to her ongoing cancer
treatment.
“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,” she wrote in the letter
“Please pass my apologies to the whole regiment,
however I do hope that I am able to represent you all
once again very soon, ” she wrote.
The Irish Guards are leading this year’s Trooping the
Colour, the military parade to mark the king’s official
birthday, and Kate was due to watch the dress rehearsal
Saturday.
