British royal expert Hilary Forditch She told Fox News Digital that Kate is spending the day at her home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, alongside William and their children: Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.
“While they would normally be in Norfolk at their Anmer Hall home to celebrate Princess Catherine's birthday, this year they returned early to Adelaide's home, so her children could return to school,” Fordwich said. “Ever the devoted and committed parent, her children come first, so she is more concerned with their education than her own birthday.”
“To the most amazing wife and mother. The strength you have shown over the past year has been amazing. George, Charlotte, Louis and I are so proud of you.”
Fordwich added: “As her birthday falls today, on a school day, and although Prince William has declared that he is not a particularly good cook, he is known to prepare a wonderful breakfast, which he may have prepared for her this morning.”

“The idea is, 'One day at a time' — that's how you're going to approach it,” Hardman said, referring to Her announcement in September that she had completed chemotherapy.
