Watch: Trooping the Colour a perfect ‘low-pressure’ event for Princess of Wales | Royal Insight
The TelegraphTrooping is not an event that the Palace provides a running commentary on regarding which members of the family will be in attendance, so it may be left to the day to find out. The Princess’s attendance would come after she missed the Trooping rehearsal, the Colonel’s Review, last Saturday, at which she was set to play a starring role for the first time as the Colonel of the Irish Guards. Writing as Colonel Catherine, she said: “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. Please pass my apologies to the whole regiment, however I do hope that I am able to represent you all once again very soon.” Signing off with the Irish Guards motto of “Who will separate us?” she added: “Please send my very best wishes and good luck to all involved. Quis separabit.” An appearance at Trooping this weekend, however, would mean shared attention on all members of the family in attendance, including the King as he partakes in an ever-so-slightly amended birthday parade.
