• Princess Kate departs Norfolk
  • Returns to Windsor for her birthday
  • A challenging year for Kate

Princess Kate has chosen to plan her upcoming 43rd birthday away from husband Prince William and their three children. Although the family typically spends school vacations at their country estate, Anmer Hall in Norfolk, Kate has decided to retreat to a quieter location for the occasion. According to reports from 'Hello!,' she will not be celebrating her birthday at Anmer Hall but has already made her way to her residence at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

How Princess Kate plans to spend her birthday

After a festive Christmas at Sandringham House, where the royal family was seen together, the family retreated to their Norfolk estate. Anmer Hall, a gift from the late Queen Elizabeth II, has long been a private retreat for Prince William, Princess Kate, and their children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. However, for her upcoming birthday, Kate has opted to leave this familiar setting to plan a more private celebration.

A challenging year for Princess Kate

The past year has been marked by health challenges for the princess. After undergoing an abdominal operation in January 2024, Kate publicly revealed her cancer diagnosis. Since then, she has worked hard to regain her health and has returned to making public appearances. Despite the challenges, Kate’s children will have the opportunity to celebrate her special day at her private birthday gathering.
