The Duchess of Cambridge turns 34, January 9. We predict 2016 will be a pretty big year.
She has already enjoyed seeing son Prince George off for his first day of nursery, sharing two beautiful pictures of adorable George.
In 2016, Kate will share her first Mother’s Day as a mum of two and can look forward to the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations.
She will also celebrate her five-year wedding anniversary with Prince William. Later in the year Kate will travel to India for her royal tour.
Then there’s Princess Charlotte’s first birthday in May and Prince George turns three in July.
2016 will be big, so for now let’s look back at some of our favourite pictures of Duchess Catherine. Happy Birthday!
