A court martial case has emerged involving Lance Corporal Shane Ritchie, who is accused of sexually assaulting a female soldier during an after-party at Mons Barracks in Aldershot, Hampshire. The incident allegedly occurred following the Irish Guards' regimental day celebration, which was attended by Prince William and Kate Middleton (then the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge). The female soldier claims that LCpl Ritchie cupped her bottom after sliding his hand down her back, while he denies any intentional sexual assault and argues that any contact was accidental. The woman immediately reported the incident to her chain of command, highlighting the alleged hostile environment for women within the Irish Guards.
