Over the years, the Wales' birthday portraits have become a royal tradition for the couple and their young family. As an enthusiastic photographer, Princess Kate often gets behind the camera to take pictures of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to mark their birthdays, while the royal household regularly release previously unseen images of the Prince and Princess to celebrate their own.
As the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, celebrates her 43rd birthday today, William has shared a beautiful picture of his wife with a poignant message alongside it. The black and white image sees Kate smiling, looking relaxed in jeans and a gingham scarf. The photo was taken by photographer Matt Porteous in Windsor last summer, and William's heartfelt caption read: "To the most incredible wife and mother. The strength you’ve shown over the last year has been remarkable. George, Charlotte, Louis and I are so proud of you. Happy Birthday, Catherine. We love you. W."
