It is a very special day in the royal family, as Princess Kate marks her 44th birthday today.
The Princess of Wales celebrates her big day on Friday, January 9, with private celebrations expected to be underway. Meanwhile, King Charles and Queen Camilla have led the family in wishing the future queen a very special message.
“Happy Birthday to the Princess of Wales!” read a message, accompanied by a stunning photo of Kate from her milestone visit to Colchester Hospital in Essex, England, back in July.
The message, which also included a birthday cake emoji, was shared on the royal family’s official Instagram page run by Buckingham Palace.
More wishes are expected to come soon as it is tradition for the monarch to lead the tributes. Catherine’s husband, Prince William, is expected to give Kate a very personal and heartfelt public wish, as he does every year.
Indeed, the Prince of Wales’ wish this year is likely to carry extra emotional weight as Kate celebrates her first cancer-free birthday since announcing her remission last February.
