King Charles and Queen Camilla have sent their warm wishes to Princess Catherine, the Princess of Wales, on her 42nd birthday.
In celebration of the occasion, they shared an unseen photograph of her from the coronation.
Royal fans from all over the world have joined in paying tribute to the beloved Princess, ensuring that she receives countless happy birthday wishes.
Among the many public greetings she received, one message from the Diplomatic Security Service stands out.
The service, responsible for safeguarding her during her visits to the United States, expressed their heartfelt birthday wishes.
They emphasized their commitment to ensuring her safety and well-being behind the scenes, using the hashtags #PrincessofWales and #HappyBirthdayCatherine.
The chosen photograph was taken during her and Prince William’s visit to Boston in 2021, conveying a clear message that they will spare no effort in protecting their beloved Princess, even in the face of potential security threats.
While royal fans wasted no time in expressing their joy and best wishes for Princess Catherine’s birthday, some couldn’t resist taking a subtle jab at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
One person commented, appreciating the strategic move made by the Diplomatic Security Service, suggesting that it may have been orchestrated through diplomatic channels.
Another remarked that the message was a way of highlighting the pleasure they take in their duty to someone who appreciates their efforts.
A third individual viewed it as a strong statement against the accusations made against Harry and Meghan, implying that the allegations are baseless and unfounded.
Interestingly, various charities, patronages, military associations, and even different countries also took the opportunity to send their birthday greetings to the Princess of Wales.
This outpouring of support may sting a bit more for Meghan, considering the number of posts and the variety of beautiful photos shared from different events.
It is worth noting that achieving such widespread recognition would be challenging with only 72 working days.
Out of all the messages received, the one from the Diplomatic Security Service is likely to have had the most impact on Prince Harry.
It serves as a reminder that the service is dedicated to protecting Princess Catherine, while they are not involved in safeguarding Harry, his wife, or their children.
This distinction may have hit a nerve, particularly given Harry and Meghan’s insistence on maintaining their royal status and the need for high-level security.
In their quest to uphold their royal image, Harry and Meghan have been spotted attending musical concerts and hockey games.
They continue to refer to themselves as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
However, according to royal expert Kinsey Schofield, engaged royal watchers may view them more as celebrities or reality stars.
Kinsey acknowledges that perception plays a significant role, and to the people they aim to impress, Harry and Meghan are still considered royal.
She draws a parallel between their approach and that of Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, who also sought to capitalize on her association with the royals after divorcing Prince Andrew.
Sarah ventured to America, leveraging her celebrity status to generate income through partnerships with Oprah Winfrey, producing Hollywood films, writing books, and even appearing on home shopping networks to promote products.
As Princess Catherine celebrates her 42nd birthday, she can bask in the warm wishes and support from fans worldwide.
The chosen photograph shared by King Charles and Queen Camilla symbolizes the enduring commitment to protect and cherish the Princess, while also serving as a reminder of the challenges faced by the royal family.
