A birthday after a complicated year for the princess. Prince William sent a tender message to his wife via Instagram this Thursday, January 9, to mark Kate Middleton’s 43rd birthday. The one who is destined to become Queen of the United Kingdom appears in a never-before-seen black and white photo, while photos have become rare since she announced her cancer in the spring of 2024.
William wishes a happy birthday to Kate, “the most incredible woman and mother”. “The strength you have shown over the past year is remarkable,” insists her husband, before adding “George, Charlotte, Louis and I are so proud of you.” The photo chosen for the occasion was taken last summer by Matt Porteous in Windsor, Kensington Palace said.
Kate back in business since September
The Princess of Wales revealed she was suffering from cancer and undergoing chemotherapy in March, which ended weeks of controversy and speculation, particularly after the publication of a photoshopped photo of her and her children for the party mothers across the Channel. Inconsistencies had been raised by several media outlets regarding the veracity of the photo and the admission of the retouching had led to the multiplication of rumors about the state of health of the princess. Until the official announcement of his illness.
Kate Middleton resumed her royal activities in September, after announcing the end of her chemotherapy. After a first trip in October to the northwest of England, in November she took part in the Remembrance ceremony in London (United Kingdom), her first event linked to royal obligations. The Briton, however, did not make the trip with Prince William during the reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral in December.
