Monarchy wishes Duchess of Cambridge a happy birthday


Britain’s Monarchy has extended birthday wishes to the Duchess of Cambridge.

The Duchess – who was known as Kate Middleton prior to her marriage to Prince William in 2011 – is celebrating her 33rd birthday today (09.01.15) and has received well wishes from the official Twitter page of the royal family.

Their message read: "Wishing HRH The Duchess of Cambridge a very happy 33rd birthday today #HappyBirthdayHRH"

The Duchess, who is currently pregnant with her second child, is spending the day having a quiet celebration alongside her husband Prince William and their 17-month-old son Prince George.

She is relaxing at her newly-renovated country home, Anmer Hall, before returning to her royal duties next week.

Recently, Clarence House confirmed the Duchess will visit Barlby Primary School in London on January 15, where she will officially name the Clore art room as part of her association with the Art Room charity.

Clarence House tweeted: "The Duchess of Cambridge is Patron of @TheArtRoomUK which offers art as therapy to young people who are facing challenges in their lives."

The next day will see her attend an event hosted by the Fostering Network, where she will "celebrate the dedicated work of foster carers".
