In a recent update, it has been revealed that the Princess of Wales will not be able to attend the Trooping the Colour review this year.
This news has left many Royal enthusiasts disappointed, but it has also sparked an outpouring of love and understanding from both the public and the Royal Family.
Breaking her silence during cancer treatment, the Princess of Wales sent a personally signed letter to the Irish Guards, conveying her best wishes to the regiment before the Colonel’s review next weekend.
The Irish Guards, for whom she serves as Colonel, shared a touching video of the letter being read out on social media.
In her emotional message, the Princess expressed her pride in the regiment and apologized for not being able to take the salute at this year’s Colonel review.
She acknowledged the dedication and hard work put in by everyone preparing for Trooping the Colour, emphasizing that serving as their Colonel is a great honor.
The heartfelt letter concluded with the Princess handwriting the Irish Guards’ motto, “Chi se pára bit,” which translates to “Who shall separate us?”
She signed off as “Colonel Catherine,” reaffirming her commitment to duty and garnering admiration and respect from all who know her.
As the Princess continues her battle with cancer, her resilience and courage shine through in her message to the public.
The world anxiously awaits positive news regarding her health, while the Palace stands firmly behind her during this challenging time.
The Irish Guards reciprocated the Princess’s sentiments, expressing their gratitude for the letter and sending their best wishes for her recovery.
They echoed her motto, highlighting the unity and strength shared between them and their Colonel.
Despite her absence, the Princess’s presence was felt as Lieutenant James Bucknell stood in for her at the Colonel’s Review.
Speculation arose about a potential balcony appearance alongside Prince William and their children at Trooping the Colour, but Palace sources indicated that her return to official duties would be gradual.
In contrast, the King, undergoing his own cancer treatments, is set to attend his birthday celebration in London.
However, adjustments have been made to his participation, opting for a carriage ride with Queen Camilla instead of the traditional horseback inspection of troops.
Guided by medical advice, the King’s engagements will be carefully monitored to ensure his well-being.
Similarly, the Princess’s health remains a top priority, indicating that her public appearances will be limited until she receives clearance from her doctors.
While the absence of the Princess at upcoming events is regrettable, her unwavering spirit and dedication continue to inspire those around her.
The Royal Family and supporters stand united in their hopes for her swift recovery and eventual return to her duties as Colonel of the Irish Guards.
