The Prince of Wales has shared a sweet birthday tribute to the Princess of Wales today - calling her the 'most incredible wife and mother' alongside an unseen photo of her. The sweet message was shared with a new, unseen picture of the Princess of Wales taken by Matt Porteous, in Windsor, last summer.

A personal message - and unseen photo - is an unusual thing for the royal family to for a non-major birthday. It comes after the King and Queen shared their own tribute to Kate this morning, while many members of the public and Kate's patronages have also sent well wishes.

The royal mother-of-three, who was born in Reading on January 9, 1982, turns 43 today after enduring an 'annus horribilis' in 2024. Shortly after marking her 42nd birthday last January, Kensington Palace announced the Princess of Wales had been taken to hospital for abdominal surgery and was to pause public facing duties while she recovered.

However, her time out of the spotlight fuelled wild speculation about her health and in March 2024, the Princess released an extraordinarily candid clip in which she announced to the world that doctors determined 'cancer had been present' in her body after carrying out tests.
