Kate, Princess of Wales, apologizes for missing Irish Guards final rehearsal before king’s parade

Associated Press  

LONDON — Kate, the Princess of Wales, apologized for missing Saturday’s final rehearsal before the Trooping the Color parade in honor of the king’s birthday. “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 shared by the Irish Guards on the social media platform X. Trooping the Color is a 260-year-old tradition in which troops in full dress uniform parade past the king with their ceremonial flag, also known as their “color.” Charles is likely to travel to the event by carriage with Queen Camilla and is expected to watch the ceremony seated on a dais, rather than on horseback as he did last year. Some 8,000 people watched Saturday as the Irish Guards in their bright red tunics and bearskin caps marched in formation at Horse Guards Parade in central London.
