Kensington Palace has released a birthday video to mark the Princess of Wales's 44th birthday, but the reflective and sombre tone of the clip has divided royal fans, with many labelling it 'depressing' and questioning its purpose.
The video, which features Catherine's voiceover contemplating life's challenges, is her first birthday message since announcing her remission from cancer in January 2025. While some praised its poignant message, others criticised it as inappropriate for a celebration.
