Catherine, Princess of Wales, celebrated her 42nd birthday with warm wishes from King Charles.
The official Twitter account of the King and Queen shared a never-before-seen photo of Catherine from last year’s coronation, along with a heartfelt birthday message.
The picture captures Catherine in elegant coronation robes and a magnificent headpiece, smiling sweetly at King Charles, who is also adorned in his regal attire and 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 well wishes to Catherine, expressing their delight upon seeing the throwback picture.
One fan commented on the beautiful photo, expressing their love for it.
Another wished Catherine a wonderful day and a fantastic year ahead, emphasizing their admiration for the Princess of Wales.
A third fan extended their best wishes for Catherine’s birthday, as well as for every other day, while appreciating the lovely photograph.
Many fans also noted that Catherine appears to be the perfect Queen-in-waiting, and the chosen image emphasizes her role as the beloved daughter-in-law to the King.
Some comments even hinted at the potential impact this image may have on Meghan Markle, suggesting that she would desire a similar photo opportunity.
Another interesting aspect of the photo is the presence of Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, who is portrayed as a strong supporter of Catherine.
Fans recalled an event where Sophie seemed reluctant to even look at Meghan, contrasting her unwavering support for Catherine.
This led some to speculate that Sophie may harbor negative feelings towards Meghan.
In other news, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly seeking a reunion with King Charles in an effort to mend the long-standing feud between their families.
Despite initial speculations that they might attend the 2023 festivities at King Charles’ residence in Sandringham, the couple was notably absent.
According to royal author Ingrid Seward, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are now planning to reunite with the monarch, recognizing the significance of his support and blessing.
Seward mentioned in an interview with GB News that a potential meeting next year would also provide an opportunity for King Charles to reconnect with his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet.
Seward revealed that King Charles expressed his desire to see his son and grandchildren during the summer, inviting them to Balmoral, but the invitation was declined.
The last time the Sussexes saw the King was at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September of last year.
Following the funeral, Harry and Meghan returned to their residence in Montecito via public flight after allegedly being denied permission to travel on Air Force One with US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.
Almost a year later, Harry attended his father’s coronation, while Meghan remained in California.
The potential reunion between the Sussexes and King Charles holds great significance, as it signifies their recognition of the King’s importance and their desire to mend familial ties.
It remains to be seen how this meeting will unfold and whether it will bring about a resolution to the ongoing tensions within the royal family.
