Exciting news for Rose of Tralee fans—Dr Clare Kambamettu, the 2010 London Rose, clinical psychologist, and now fiancée of Ryan Tubridy, has been confirmed as a judge for this year’s festival!
Clare, who triumphed as Rose of Tralee back in 2010, brings both poise and local pride to the judging panel. A Kildare native educated at UCG and King’s College London, she’s also appeared on RTÉ’s Eco Eye and embraced charity fashion—recently trying on wedding gowns in Portlaoise’s Vincent’s shop as part of her engagement preparations.
With Clare joining the panel, along with 2025 Laois Rose Katelyn Cummins hoping to bring the title home, this year’s show promises a blend of sentimental roots and fresh perspectives coming full circle. Expect plenty of pride, poise—and maybe a touch of fashion flair!
