- The Princess of Wales celebrated her 44th birthday last week, but according to sources, she opted for a scaled down celebration instead of a big palace party.
- This was reportedly to avoid "endless expectations and constant scrutiny" that come with certain "royal relatives".
- Royal experts have also emphasised the importance of this birthday for Princess Kate, noting that "it’s been a very transformative couple of years."
The Princess of Wales has been front and centre in 2026. And from her royal partnership with Prince William, to her big plans for their new Forest Lodge home, she has continued to make headlines.
