Kate Middleton's Mother's Day post has poignant detail that's easy to miss as Princess steps away from tradition

Catherine, Princess of Wales departs after attending the launch of the Bobeam Tree Trail at the National Portrait Gallery on February 4, 2025.

Catherine, Princess of Wales shared a special - and very different - post for Mother’s Day 2025 that included an easy-to-miss poignant detail.

This year the Princess of Wales moved away from a long-established tradition for Mother’s Day. In the past she and Prince William have generally posted sweet family snaps, ranging from photos of Kate with Prince George, Charlotte and Louis, to pictures of Carole Middleton and Princess Diana.
