Kate, the Princess of Wales, has been replaced in the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade this year due to worries about her location.
Kate Middleton will be unable to attend this year’s celebration due to her ongoing recovery from stomach surgery, The Express reported.
As Colonel of the Irish Guards, it is customary for the future Queen to hand out shamrocks to Officers and Warrant Officers during the procession.
Lady Ghika, the wife of Regimental Lieutenant Colonel Major General Sir Christopher Ghika, will replace her position while she is away, according to the Ministry of Defence.
Kate Middleton hasn’t been seen in public since her Christmas outing last year. In January, it was disclosed that she had abdominal surgery.
She was released from the hospital 14 days later and has been recovering at home in Windsor since. While Kensington Palace has stated that she will not return until Easter, weird stories of her being in a coma have circulated widely online.
To top it all, on Mother’s Day, the Palace issued a charming portrait of the Princess of Wales surrounded by her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, putting a stop to rumors about Kate’s health.
