"Recuperating Kate, unable to raise a Guinness toast on St Patrick's Day as colonel of the Irish Guards, ensured her favourite soldiers were well refreshed at her expense.

"To their delight she put £2,000 behind the regimental bar at Aldershot for a party after the traditional parade.

"My abacus calculates that with subsidised club prices the thirsty troopers were treated to at least 700 pints of the black stuff. And did she specify that regimental mascot Seamus, the Irish wolfhound, should be treated to a jumbo bone?"

Lieutenant Colonel James Shaw, Brigade Major of the Household Division, who designed this year's Trooping spectacle, told The Irish Sun: 'We totally understand and our thoughts and best wishes are with Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales.

'We are even more determined to make the Colonel's Review the best yet for her. We are so proud to have The Princess of Wales as the Colonel of the Irish Guards.'

Congratulations to William on his new appointment, and yes, indeed, a very heartwarming and encouraging message to Catherine.  I want her to take the time she needs to heal and recover--and am praying for a full recovery for her and Charles, but I do miss seeing her and hope that she will be able to return soon.  Though only when she is healthy and strong again, of course.

Congrats to Prince William! I also feel that Kate should take the time she needs to recover. Hopefully, we will see her resuming her duties by the end of the year.

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.
