Princess Kate has received a message of support following a Kensington Palace update.
An Army colonel has sent a message to the Princess of Wales, following the announcement that she will miss the upcoming Trooping the Colour rehearsal.
He said the regiment is "so proud" to have the Princess of Wales as Colonel of the Irish Guards and sent his "best wishes" to Kate.
It comes after royal officials confirmed on Thursday the mother-of-three will not attend the Colonel's Review on June 8, the traditional rehearsal for Trooping the Colour, held on June 15.

"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."
