Prince William has shared a heartfelt tribute to his wife Kate Middleton on her 43rd birthday, following a year filled with personal challenges. The Prince of Wales took to social media with a touching written message, celebrating Kate as an “incredible wife and mother” and commending her remarkable strength throughout her cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Alongside the tribute was a new photo of the Princess of Wales, taken by Matt Porteous in Windsor last summer, where she appears casual and joyful with hands in her jeans pockets and wearing a gingham scarf. In his note, William 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”.
This comes as the official Royal Family social media accounts also posted an image of Kate beaming at Sandringham during Christmas, surrounded by bouquets from well-wishers, along with the caption: “Happy Birthday to The Princess of Wales!” and a birthday cake emoji.
- Kate Middleton is likely to celebrate her birthday today in the comfort of her Windsor home following Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis‘ return to school post-Christmas break.
