Raise a glass to Kate … wherever she is.
Kate Middleton, who was unable to attend Sunday’s St. Patrick’s Day parade, gave several soldiers a special treat this year to make up for her absence.
The missing princess reportedly gave a local regimental bar in the UK town of Aldershot nearly $2,500 toward the bill so that members of the Irish Guard could celebrate the holiday at a post-parade party, reports the Daily Mail.
Middleton’s generous donation to the men in uniform comes after the Princess of Wales, 42, failed to attend the parade as she continues to recover from the abdominal surgery she had in January.
The Post reached out to Kensington Palace for comment.
The future queen — who had been named the honorary colonel of the Irish Guard by her father-in-law, King Charles last year — marked the occasion by posting a behind-the-scenes video of the Irish Guard rehearsing for the big day.
