Kate Middleton has sent a letter to the Irish Guard, apologising for being unable to attend this year's Colonel's Review. The final rehearsal for the King’s Birthday Parade, known as the Colonel’s Review, took place in London earlier today.
The Colonel's Review takes place seven days before Trooping the Colour. This year, the Number 9 Irish Guards will troop their colour on June 15 in front of the King. Today at Horse Guards Parade, they rehearsed in front of 8,000 people, following a letter from their Colonel, the Princess of Wales, in which she apologised for not attending, spoke of her pride at being part of the regiment and ended by wishing them all luck.
