Kate Middleton marked her 43rd birthday in a heartfelt way, surrounded by her family. According to People magazine, the Princess of Wales celebrated the special day at home with Prince William and their children—Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6. After their winter break, the children returned to school on January 8, and they came back to Adelaide Cottage to join their mother in celebrating her milestone birthday.
The past year was a challenging one for Middleton, who faced significant health battles, including surgery, a cancer diagnosis, and chemotherapy treatment. Despite these struggles, the royal family gathered to support her during her birthday celebrations. Prince William shared a touching tribute on social media, praising his wife for her “remarkable” strength throughout her health challenges. His message read, “George, Charlotte, Louis, and I are so proud of you. Happy Birthday, Catherine. We love you. W.” This rare public declaration of affection from the Prince of Wales was seen as an emotional and personal gesture, especially given the typically reserved nature of the royal family when it comes to social media.
Middleton had undergone planned abdominal surgery in January, followed by the announcement of her cancer diagnosis in March. By September of last year, she had completed her chemotherapy treatment.
