As she spends her birthday with her family, Kate Middleton is experiencing the love that is being shown to her.
PEOPLE has it on good authority that the Princess of Wales, who will be 43 on January 9, will be spending the day at home with Prince William and their children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, when they are not in school. The children have only recently returned to the classroom at Lambrook School on January 8 after taking a vacation for the holidays. They will celebrate this event with their mother at Adelaide Cottage later on for the occasion.
Prince William lauded his wife in a statement that was uploaded on social media on her birthday, which was on January 9th. He also tweeted a portrait of her that had not been seen before, which was taken by one of their preferred photographers, Matt Porteous. With her hands tucked into the pockets of her trousers, Princess Kate can be seen smiling in the photograph that was shot in Windsor during the summer of last year. The photograph was taken in black and white.
This is a tribute to the most amazing wife and mother. Your resilience over the course of the last year has been really extraordinary,” the Prince of Wales said in the caption that accompanied the photograph. We are really proud of you, George, Charlotte, Louis, and I congratulate you. Have a wonderful birthday, Catherine! Oh, we adore you. “W-”
Despite the fact that it follows on the heels of a challenging year, William’s social media tribute for his wife on her birthday may be the most heartfelt one he has ever written. In January of 2024, Princess Kate had the anticipated abdominal surgery. In March of the same year, she stated that she was having treatment for an unidentified kind of cancer. In September, she reported that she had finished her chemotherapy treatment.
On September 9, 2024, the Princess of Wales announced that she had finished her chemotherapy treatment and that she would continue to take things one day at a time. She had been out of the public spotlight for virtually the whole of 2024 in order to take care of her healthcare.
“At this point, my primary concern is doing all in my power to avoid developing cancer. Despite the fact that I have completed chemotherapy, the road to rehabilitation and complete healing is a long one, and I must continue to take each day as it comes,” Princess Kate remarked at the time.
Princess Kate, who is characterized as “a real running, skipping, and jumping” sort of athletic person, is rightly prioritizing her health, according to a family member who spoke exclusively to People about the matter.
It is a good idea for her to take care of herself, as she is doing. “She will know when she wakes up whether she is well enough to do something or not,” the family acquaintance adds. “She will know as soon as she wakes up.”
It is possible that the princess is still in the process of recovering, according to Robert Hardman, who is the author of the book “The Making of a King: Charles III and the Modern Monarchy.”
“We are being encouraged not to look at this as a chapter that’s over and then it’s back to normal, because cancer doesn’t work like that,” according to Dr. Hardman. “The details remain private but there’s no getting over the reality that it’s an unpredictable disease.”
Hardman continued by saying, “The clue is in her phrase ‘one day at a time’ — that’s how she’s going to approach it,” to which he was alluding to the statement that she had written in her letter about finishing chemotherapy.
“She has been allowed to get back in her own way,” says a person who was further quoted. She has been allowed to do things at her own speed and do them in her own manner, which is wonderful.
On the occasion of Kate’s birthday, King Charles and Queen Camilla released a tribute to commemorate her, and the bells of Westminster Abbey rung in her honor. Several other people in her group left comments underneath the Instagram post that Prince William had made.
James Middleton, the younger brother of the Princess of Wales, responded on the post with two emojis: a heart and a birthday cake. Meanwhile, Charlotte Porteous wished the princess a happy and successful year ahead.
Porteous wrote with a heart, “Happy Birthday Catherine, wishing you a wonderful year ahead surrounded by family and loved ones,” saying that she wished her a wonderful year ahead.
It was the photographer who shot the first image of Princess Kate after she revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer. He is responsible for many of the family photographs that the Prince and Princess of Wales have taken. Additionally, that photograph was taken in Windsor, and it was released in June along with an update about her health. The fresh photograph that was shown to the public on her 43rd birthday may have been taken during the same session.
