Pressrelease from the official website of the Prince of Wales:
Quote:
Prince William appointed Colonel of the Irish Guards
10th February 2011
Her Majesty The Queen has been pleased to give her formal approval to the appointment of Prince William as Colonel of the Irish Guards.
Prince William will take over the appointment from Major General Sir Sebastian Roberts, KCVO OBE.
The regiment was formed in 1900 by order of Queen Victoria. Based in Victoria Barracks, Windsor, but currently deployed to Afghanistan, the Battalion is made up of five companies and a variety of supporting elements.
This is Prince William’s first honorary appointment in the Army, and he will be the Irish Guards’ first Royal Colonel. The Queen is Colonel-in-Chief.
The Prince is also a fully operational Search and Rescue Pilot in the RAF, having graduated on 17th September 2010.

Just like Captain Mark Phillips did when he married Princess Anne. That scarlet jacket makes that I think he was the least attractive groom out of all of them.
I just don't find scarlet fitting for a groom on his wedding day, it doesn't fit with my mindset. Purely my opinion of course.
I'd much rather have William wear his RAF attire.

I'm surprised this is his first Colonel appt, as I thought that had happened already. Too, I could be confusing his being created Commodore of Scotland w/this as well.
Regardless, I can't wait for the first pictures of the new Colonel in his newest uniform. :)
edited to add...Already fixed the new rank, so please don't nail me for that one. I really hope he'll be in his Blues and Greys Uniform for the Wedding, but know it's pretty much a for sure thing he'll be in his RAF one.

 Look for him to be in his Irish Guards colonel full dress tunic as well as on horseback and not in a carriage, during Trooping of the Colour this coming June...

Good to see. I think it will be very interesting to see the response from the people in the affected areas.

Very good on William's part. He was pretty well received last time so I think/hope he will again this time and the people will appreciate him coming down and showing his support. I think he prob would have come down sooner but I imagine it may take some time to organize these things with his work and upcoming wedding to work around.

Wonderful news. I imagine William will be the new pawn used for visits, especially to Australia. And I for one am glad of it.

I was chuffed to bits when I heard William wld be coming down to Christchurch and am even more pleased to see him going to Oz as well. I wld have liked to see Kate along but I feel that wld have been a distraction from these sombre events.
