The new portrait of Princess Kate, released to mark her 43rd birthday, offers a fresh perspective on the royal. Taken by photographer Matt Porteous in Windsor last summer, the black-and-white photo reveals a more casual side of the princess.
Dressed in jeans, a shirt, and a blazer, Kate exudes effortless style. A plaid scarf and her wavy hair add to the laid-back vibe, while her relaxed pose, with hands in her trouser pockets and a gentle smile, make the photo even more captivating.
Accompanying the photo is a heartfelt and rare personal message from her husband, Prince William (42). "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," he writes.

The newly released portrait of Princess Kate is not only a birthday tribute but also a reflection of her strength over the past year. Typically, Kate’s birthday passes without public displays, so the intimate message from Prince William is notably personal and touching. Given Kate's difficult year, including her cancer treatment, William seized this moment to express his admiration and support.

His words convey the deep pride and support he and their children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—feel for Kate.
