The Princess of Wales turned 43 today. She was born at the Royal Berkshire Hospital on January 9, 1982. The Prince of Wales celebrated his wife's birthday by sharing a new portrait of the Princess along with a message on social media. He wrote: 'To the most incredible wife and mother. The strength you’ve shown over the last year has been remarkable. George, Charlotte, Louis and I are so proud of you. Happy Birthday, Catherine. We love you. W.'
King Charles and Queen Camilla also wished the Princess of Wales a happy birthday, sharing a message that read: 'Happy Birthday to the Princess of Wales.' They included a photo of the Princess from Christmas Day in Sandringham.
Happy birthday to the Princess, but what an awkward new photo! What's with the hands in the pockets like that? Strange. Also, fashion-wise, the scarf doesn't seem to go well with that ensemble. It would have been far better without it. The Christmas candid photo is much better overall. Lovely smile, not contrived, lovely green outfit.
ReplyDeleteThe photo is more casual, so the hands-in-pockets pose and the scarf were meant to keep it relaxed and laid-back. It’s just a different vibe compared to more polished shots.
DeleteI love the photo! Don’t see it as awkward at all. Happy birthday Duchess!
DeleteI also love this photo. The Princess of Wales seems happy, relaxed and beautiful.
DeleteWhy doesn't the scarf go with the outfit?
DeleteWhat a beautiful and heartfelt message from the Prince of Wales! It’s clear how much he admires and appreciates the Princess of Wales, and the love and support between them shines through. Happy 43rd birthday to Catherine, a wonderful wife, mother, and role model!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday sweet Catherine princess of Wales, no fuss no glamour a natural picture that suits her so well.
ReplyDeletei adore her Strength, Humility & Grace. Happy Birthday Catherine
ReplyDeleteI still remember her "Kate Middleton-days", then the wedding, the children... It was always a pleasure to see her grow into her role. And then those very bad news about her health. May this sensitive, intelligent, caring and beautiful mother, wife and princess have a funny birthday and a very happy new year!
ReplyDeleteCoralie, I too remember her back in the day. I followed her since she was only William's girlfriend and be a fan of her ever since. Federica
DeleteBuon compleanno Catherine, e anche buon 2025.
ReplyDeleteNon vedo l'ora di vederti regina ♥️
A happy birthday to the strong and clever Princess of Wales! Nice pictures.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Kate and God Bless you and your family ❤️
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Princess of Wales. May the Universe brings you all the best in order to make you happy today and many years ahead. Cheers to you 🍾
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, I prefer the one in the green coat. The black and white is okay, but her hands look awkward. It reminds me of the ones a few years ago in the red dress. The scarf kinda looks like a bread basket cloth on first glance, perhaps it was intended as a pop of colour.
ReplyDeleteLooking good after all she went through.
Que ce soit en tenue habillée ou plus naturelle, Kate est vraiment une belle femme - Bon et joyeux anniversaire à elle !
ReplyDeleteHas anyone overly scrutinized the photo for extra, or missing, fingers and the like? I'm sure it's coming.
ReplyDelete😂😂👍
DeleteWishing Catherine a very Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a year it’s been for them! Let’s hope it’s a healthier and happier year for them!
Lowri.
Beautiful photos ,Of a real.princess. such a lucky girl to have a lovng husband &, family, it takes hard work but worth it. Happy birthday Catherine. Mary
ReplyDeleteHands in pockets goes very well with that ever so slightly mischievious smile. A very private picture, for a very private occasion.
ReplyDeleteA moving message from William, it brought tears to my eyes, but I am a softy! I'm so glad and relieved the Princess appears to be doing well health wise. All through this she has carried herself with such self respect and total dignity, in the most dreadful of circumstances and in the glare of the public eye. I love the photo of her on Xmas, she looked smashing. Happy Birthday Ma'am.
ReplyDeleteHello, Ava and Happy New Year!
DeleteI very rarely run out of words bit this the case.
Now, I'm gonna try to drop some lines , hope to manage to write down what I feel.
William summed up beautifully what can be considered as a widespread sentiment of affection and immense respect toward this incredibile brave, resilient, selfless and positive lady.
It is crystal clear that he loves her wholeheartedly and that they know how to give each other mutual support especially under such gruelling circumstances.
Yes, that's simply the truth, the most incredibile wife and MOTHER.
These is her MOST sparkllng crown, the best of all her jewels.
She is already a Queen.
When somebody gets such waves of public respect, love and admiration, no coronation ceremonies are needed.
She wears her crown of dignity - just like any other sick person-everywhere, no matter to what extent her public engagements will be downscaled.
I love that splendid pic portraying her walking on her routerl to church on Christmas day.
Those armfuls of flowers she got from people lined up on the street, her almost humble thank you to the sanitary system workers gives the best proof of her exquisite manners and the great heart she has.
Likewise , I love the b/w pic, she's so beautiful and intimate in all her simplicity.
Hugs for you, Ava.
I don't particularly like the portrait... But who cares! She is here and I can only imagine what a happy occasion for this family, to celebrate her birthday and her recovery.
ReplyDeleteMay all of them be happy and together for many years to come!!!

Catherine is too old to have long hair!
ReplyDeleteCatherine has fantastic hair! Why not wear it long?
DeleteThis awful comment descripes you more than you know!!
DeleteTo old .. Catherine is only 43 she has beautiful hair, if someone can have long hair I vote for Catherine.. really pff
Delete@00:48 That is a very old fashioned attitude. You need to get with the times.
DeleteWhat a lovely casual portrait of the beautiful Princess of Wales. I love this more informal essentially family photo chosen by William (maybe even Catherine herself) to celebrate her birthday. The loving and love-filled statement from William and the children is so beautiful--I am sure Catherine will treasure it. I also love the photo selected by King Charles and Queen Camilla--it is so quintessentially Catherine in public. Happy Birthday to Catherine and I hope she has a wonderful day!
