Princess Catherine Shares Heartfelt Letter Amid Ongoing Cancer Treatment
In a poignant moment that underscores her dedication to duty, Princess Catherine has issued an emotional letter to the Irish Guards, expressing her pride in the regiment as they prepare for Trooping the Colour.
Unfortunately, she also conveyed her apologies for missing a crucial rehearsal, which would have marked her first Colonel’s review.
The Princess of Wales took the time to reach out to the soldiers, acknowledging their hard work and commitment.
In her letter, she wrote, “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.” Her words reflect a deep appreciation for the months of practice and effort put forth by the Guards to ensure everything is perfect for the event.
Catherine, who holds the title of Colonel-in-Chief of the Irish Guards, expressed her regret about not being able to take the salute at this year’s review.
“Being your Colonel remains a great honour,” she stated, highlighting the significance of her role.
She asked that her apologies be relayed to the entire regiment, while also expressing hope that she could represent them again soon.
This absence from such a significant occasion emphasizes the personal challenges she is currently facing.
Insiders close to the royal family have noted that every cancer journey is unique, and they believe that speculation regarding her attendance at major events creates undue pressure during a time when she has requested privacy and space.
The Colonel’s review was scheduled for today and serves as a vital dress rehearsal for the upcoming Trooping the Colour, a grand celebration of the King’s official birthday.
This event traditionally features a balcony appearance at Buckingham Palace, further elevating its importance in the royal calendar.
As the new Colonel-in-Chief, this would have been Catherine’s inaugural salute at the review.
Her absence is felt deeply, not just by her but by the regiment she leads.
