This year the Princess of Wales publicly marked her birthday in a slightly different way and shared a special video paying tribute to the healing power of winter rather than the usual photo. It was a poignant post, with a serene and reflective feel and behind closed doors, Kate’s celebrations were equally low-key.
We don’t usually know how the royals spend their birthdays in private, but it’s recently been revealed that she spent her 44th having lunch with Carole and Pippa Middleton. The trio are believed to have gone to The Funghi Club and their arrival sent a "little fizz of excitement" throughout the restaurant.
