The Princess of Wales is one of the most talked-about women in the world, with this week being no exception, seeing Kate Middleton celebrate her 42nd birthday.
The royal family marked the occasion publicly by releasing a never-before-seen portrait of the Princess of Wales. And in private, the Princess is said to have had a low-key celebration with her husband Prince William and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
"Kate and William are not the sort to go away to celebrate on their own and leave the kids at home," explained royal author Duncan Larcombe, via OK! ahead of Kate's birthday a few years back. "I think the same will apply to Kate's birthday as it does to Christmas - it will be low key and it will be focussed entirely on the family."
The question on everyone’s lips however is what the Princess of Wales received in the way of presents, with the future King boasting a good track record in terms of gift giving. In fact, even before becoming a royal, Kate Middleton had a growing jewellery collection.
The now Princess of Wales reportedly received a pearl and garnet rose-gold victorian ring from Wills while they were dating, and on their first Christmas together as a married couple, he gave her a pair of green amethyst earrings by Kiki McDonough, one of her favourite jewellery designers.
The couple’s third wedding anniversary was also particularly special, with William giving Kate a Ballon Bleu de Cartier watch. Plus, don’t even get us started on her push presents from the future King!
Kate received an eternity band after Prince George’s birth, a pair of tourmaline, amethyst, and diamond earrings after welcoming Princess Charlotte, and a rumoured Citrine ring upon the birth of Prince Louis, although some believe that the ring was already in her collection.
Either way, this week is sure to have seen an addition to Princess Kate's jewellery collection, and we can't wait to see what it is!
