The Irish Guards shared the poignant letter on X, formerly known as Twitter, as they prepared for the June 15 event. In her message, Kate expressed her pride and admiration for the Regiment:
"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. I appreciate everyone trooping this year has been practicing for months, and dedicating many hours to ensuring their uniforms and drill are immaculate. Being your Colonel remains a great honour, and I am very sorry that I’m unable to take the salute at this year’s Colonel’s Review. Please pass my apologies to the whole Regiment, however, I do hope that I am able to represent you all once again very soon. Please send my very best wishes and good luck to all involved. Quis separabit."
The Irish Guards expressed their gratitude for the Princess's heartfelt gesture, extending their best wishes for her recovery:
"The Irish Guards were deeply touched to receive a letter from our Colonel, Her Royal Highness, The Princess of Wales this morning. We continue to wish Her Royal Highness well in her recovery and send Her our very best wishes. Quis Separabit."
Kate is expected to miss several royal events, including King Charles’ official birthday parade, as she continues treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.
