In a significant announcement, King Charles III has bestowed the title of Honorary Colonel of the Irish Guards upon his daughter-in-law, Princess Catherine.<\/p>\n
This new role holds great significance for the Princess of Wales, who has been actively involved in honoring the esteemed Guards Regiment during the annual St. Patrick’s Day festivities since her marriage into the royal family in 2011.<\/p>\n
Traditionally, Princess Kate has always donned a vibrant green ensemble to warmly greet the Irish Guards at their parade.<\/p>\n
This event is also marked by the presence of the regimental mascot, Irish wolfhound Talamore (affectionately known as Seamus), and a celebratory toast with Guinness.<\/p>\n
Now, as the new Honorary Colonel, Princess Kate steps into the role previously held by her husband, Prince William.<\/p>\n
Back in 2011, Queen Elizabeth appointed Prince William as the Honorary Colonel of the Irish Guards, just a couple of months before his wedding to Kate.<\/p>\n
On that momentous day, Prince William proudly wore the red Irish Guards officer uniform during the ceremony at Westminster Abbey.<\/p>\n
However, Prince William now assumes a new royal role of his own, as King Charles has announced him as the Colonel of the Welsh Guards, aligning with his title as the Prince of Wales.<\/p>\n
Queen Camilla, too, has received a new title from her husband.<\/p>\n
She has been confirmed as the Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, a prestigious honor that was previously held by Prince Andrew but was revoked by his late mother.<\/p>\n
This announcement of new colonels effectively resolves some of the questions that arose after Prince Andrew’s removal from the position due to the scandal surrounding his association with Geoffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
