Kate Middleton staying up until midnight in royal tradition for Princess Charlotte's birthday

As well as being one of the most popular figures in the British monarchy, the Duchess of Cambridge is also a hands-on and loving mother, eager to give her children the best childhood she can.

However, in a bid to make her children's birthdays even more special, Kate will stay up extra late the night before to carry on her extra special tradition.

Kate will stay up later than usual to ensure she continues the sweet tradition once her little ones Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have gone to bed, Kate will make them their very own birthday cake.

And with Charlotte set to turn seven tomorrow, she'll likely be getting busy in the kitchen baking later tonight, writes the Mirror.

Kate revealed her long-standing tradition in 2019 when she and husband Prince William appeared on a special BBC programme with baking expert Mary Berry called A Berry Royal Christmas.

On the show, she spoke of her love for baking and told Mary that when it comes to her children's birthdays: "I love making the cake."

"It's become a bit of a tradition that I stay up 'til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much. But I love it."

Princess Charlotte is William and Kate's middle child who is known for her confident and cheeky persona.

She and her brothers George and Louis have largely grown up away from the spotlight - only appearing at limited royal events.

However, all three of them are reportedly being lined up to take starring roles in the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

According to the Telegraph, the three Cambridge children will all take a “visible” part in the Jubilee celebrations, which are set to take place in June.

The publication says fans could look forward to them taking part in carriage rides at Trooping the Colour.

Louis, the youngest of the three who turned four last weekend, is now the same age as his dad William, when he first rode in a carriage at Trooping the Colour in 1987 alongside his mum Princess Diana and great grandmother the Queen Mother.

While the Cambridges will most likely be making appearances during the bumper four-day bank holiday weekend, it's unclear if their cousins Archie and Lilibet will take part.

Their father Prince Harry said he didn't know if he would come to the UK from his new family home in California for the Jubilee with his children and wife Meghan Markle in a recent interview.
