In a heartwarming gesture, King Charles wished Princess Kate a happy 42nd birthday yesterday.
The official Twitter account of the King and Queen shared a never-before-seen photo of Kate from last year’s coronation, along with a birthday message.
The photo captures Kate in her elegant coronation robes and headpiece, smiling warmly at King Charles, who is also adorned in his regal attire, including the imperial state crown.
In the corner of the picture, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh can be seen sharing a joyful moment.
Royal enthusiasts wasted no time in sending their own birthday wishes to Kate, expressing delight at the throwback photo.
One fan exclaimed, “Oh, what a beautiful picture!
I love it!”
Another wrote, “Happy birthday to our amazing Princess of Wales.
I hope she has a great day and a wonderful new year.
We all love you, Catherine.”
A third fan added, “Best wishes to the Princess of Wales on her lovely birthday today, and every other day as well.
What a lovely photo!”
Many fans also commented that Kate appears to be the perfect Queen-in-waiting.
Within just thirty minutes of the image being shared, it garnered over 40,000 views.
Kate is expected to celebrate her birthday with her family at their home.
Last year, just before her birthday, Catherine found herself in the midst of controversy surrounding her brother-in-law Prince Harry’s revealing book, Spare.
The book disclosed details about her disagreement with Meghan Markle over their bridesmaid’s dress choice and even suggested a dispute over shared lip gloss.
Later, in an interview with ITV journalist Tom Bradby, Prince Harry accused Kate of stereotyping Meghan due to her American actress background, divorce, and biracial heritage, claiming it hindered their acceptance of her into the royal family.
More recently, Kate, along with King Charles III, was implicated in a Dutch translation of Scobie’s new book, Endgame, which alleged remarks about the skin color of Prince Archie.
The BBC then published their names.
However, as the future Queen turns 42, a royal expert revealed to Fabulous that she is expected to have a calm and family-oriented day with her husband Prince William and their children, George, Charlotte, and Louis.
They will likely celebrate her birthday in a low-key manner at their home in Windsor.
Jenny Bond, speaking to an outlet, shared that the Princess will likely spend most of her time with her children, who don’t return to school until the following day.
This way, the family can enjoy the last day of the Christmas holidays while celebrating Catherine’s birthday simultaneously.
In a surprising twist, it has been reported that Prince Harry was envious of William marrying a dutiful woman like Kate.
He was frustrated that Kate fulfilled her royal duties without complaint, unlike himself.
Meghan apparently convinced him that seeking attention was more favorable than being a dedicated and hard-working royal.
Perhaps Meghan needs to reconsider her planned pap walks, as she seems to be overshadowing Camilla’s podcast launch and the birthday of a true princess with her attention-seeking behavior.
