As birthdays go, one fit for the future Queen Princess Catherine that is, the celebrations will be low-key.
Although her plan is usually a private and low-key affair, we know a few details about how she’s been feted in past years.
Last year, her birthday coincided with all the publicity about Harry’s book, which was about to be published.
This year, things are looking much smoother for Catherine and her family.
She has also weathered the storm of Omid Scobie’s book, and no doubt her husband William will have plans up his sleeve to ensure the day is special for his wife of 11 years.
Meanwhile, another source reported that her low-key celebrations will likely include a sweet feast of cake and ice cream with the children. But, to be honest, that’s just the way she likes it. Catherine’s first birthday with a royal title was on her 30th in January 2012. She had married William in April 2011 and decided that no birthday celebrations could rival that of the royal wedding. So, her 30th birthday was spent enjoying a romantic meal with William at Kensington Palace. Over the last 10 years, Princess Catherine has also been pregnant for three of her birthdays. She was pregnant with George when she turned 31, with Charlotte turning 33, and in 2018 turning 36 with Prince Louis. So, no wild parties or inevitable hangovers for her.
The last time she was seen out on the town for her birthday was back in 2008, aged just 26. At that time, the young royal-to-be celebrated without William, who was away with his Royal Air Force training. Instead, she was photographed enjoying a meal out at the Tom Aikens restaurant in Chelsea, and then heading to Kitts Club in Sloane Square with her sister Pippa.
