How will Kate Middleton celebrate her birthday next month?

Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, is a key figure in the royal family, as she is set to celebrate her birthday on Jan. 9.

But how will she celebrate the special occasion?

It's unclear, though, if she shed light on her past way of marking her birthday, the mom-of-three preferred a private celebration at home.

Her husband, William, last year shared a heartwarming post on social media on her 43rd birthday, "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."

Prince of Wales comments are a reference to Kate's recovery from cancer when she was diagnosed with one in 2024.

The royal princess was open about her cancer journey, but she shared that the phase that came after the treatment was much more difficult.

"You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult," she explained at the time.

She continued, "You're not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you're not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to."

"You have to find your new normal, and that takes time… and it's a roller coaster, it's not smooth, like you expect it to be. But the reality is you go through hard times."

It is worth noting Kate will turn 44 on Jan 9.
