Prince William Celebrates Princess Catherine’s 43rd Birthday with Heartfelt Message

Prince William publicly celebrated his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales‘ 43rd birthday on Thursday with a heartfelt social media post. The Prince of Wales shared a touching message on X, accompanied by a previously unseen black-and-white portrait of Catherine taken last summer in Windsor by photographer Matt Porteous.

In the message, William praised Catherine, saying, “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.” The post highlighted Catherine’s resilience over the past year, during which she underwent treatment for cancer and spent time away from the public eye.

In September 2024, Catherine announced that she had completed chemotherapy but emphasized that her recovery journey was ongoing. She expressed her determination to stay cancer-free and shared her optimism about entering a “new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.”

The birthday tribute comes as the Princess of Wales continues to balance her royal duties with her health and family life. The couple, along with their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—were last seen publicly at the Christmas morning service at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham on December 25, 2024.

The portrait shared by William captures Catherine in a candid moment, reflecting her grace and strength. The image has been widely praised by royal fans and followers, who have flooded social media with birthday wishes for the Princess of Wales.
