Kate Pulls Out of Colonel’s Review Amid Health Battle
The Princess of Wales, Kate, will miss the upcoming Colonel’s Review, insiders confirm. Fans expected her to appear at the traditional military ceremony on 8 June in London, just before Trooping the Colour.
Kate’s Role as Colonel in Chief
As the Colonel in Chief of the Irish Guards, Kate normally takes the salute at this prestigious event. But since revealing her cancer diagnosis and ongoing preventative chemotherapy earlier this year, her absence from public duties has been notable.
Confusion Over Attendance
Back in February, the Ministry of Defence seemed to confirm Kate’s presence. However, they quickly pulled the announcement, sparking speculation. Instead, Lieutenant General James Bucknall will take the salute this year.
The nation will be watching keenly as the royal battles health but steps back from public events for now.
