Happy birthday Princess Kate! And happy new-royal-portrait-day to the rest of us. In honor of Kate Middleton ’ s 43rd birthday on January 9, Prince William shared a new black-and-white portrait of the Princess of Wales on the couple’s official Instagram, with a sweet message in the caption.

Kate Middleton ditched her engagement ring for the Princess of Wales' first royal outing of 2025 — but there's nothing to worry about! Fans expressed concern over the state of Kate and her husband Prince William's marriage after she recently made an appearance at Royal Marsden Hospital in London without the shiny rock on her finger.

Prince William has sparked speculation following Kate's nod to Princess Diana. The Princess of Wales performed a solo engagement at the Royal Marsden Hospital on Tuesday, marking the occasion with a meaningful new addition to her jewellery collection.

The Princess of Wales nearly missed out on her royal love after having her heart set on heading to University of Edinburgh, before making a last minute decision.
