Princess Kate, also known as the Princess of Wales, sent a letter to the Irish Guards expressing her pride in the regiment ahead of the colonel's review of Trooping the Colour, noting her appreciation for the dedication and hard work put into the event preparations. Despite previous speculation that the parade might mark her first public appearance since disclosing her cancer treatment, Kensington Palace confirmed her absence from the event, emphasizing her ongoing focus on recovery.
The Irish Guards acknowledged Kate's apology and released a video showcasing a senior officer reading out her letter, where she conveyed her regret for not being able to attend the parade and apologized to the whole regiment. Known for her role as their colonel, she expressed hope of representing them again in the future. The letter concluded with a reference to the regiment's Latin motto, "Quis separabit?" which translates as "who shall separate us?", emphasizing unity and resilience in the face of challenges.
