On X (formerly Twitter) The royals’ official account says: “We wish the Princess of Wales a happy birthday today.”

This is how Princess Kate is supposed to celebrate today
Princess Kate can probably enjoy her birthday more this year. In 2023, her special day was overshadowed by Prince Harry’s (39) memoir “Reserve”. Details from the book, in which King Charles’s younger son made new allegations against his family, became public at the beginning of January and probably caused a stir behind the palace walls.
Like the British newspaper “Express” writes, Kate will reportedly celebrate her 42nd birthday this year at home with her family. The paper reports, citing an anonymous source, that she prefers a small celebration as her children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, are just returning to school after the holidays. The Princess of Wales also likes to be surrounded by her family.
Princess Kate and Prince William have also reportedly emphasized to King Charles that their children come first. According to British media reports, the monarch wants the heir to the throne to take on more royal duties. William and Kate therefore want to concentrate on their family while their children are still small.
