Kate’s birthday comes after a challenging period for the royal, following her cancer diagnosis and treatment in 2024. In early 2025, she confirmed she was in remission, a milestone that was met with widespread relief and support from the public. Since then, the Princess of Wales has carefully resumed royal duties, prioritising her health while remaining committed to her role.

Just days before her birthday, Kate and Prince William carried out one of their first official engagements of the year, visiting a London hospital to thank healthcare staff for their dedication. The appearance was seen as a positive sign of Kate’s improving health and her determination to continue her work when possible.

Sources close to the royal family indicated that the birthday itself was expected to be a low-key, private affair, spent at home with Prince William and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Rather than a grand celebration, the focus was on family time and quiet reflection.
