EXCLUSIVE: Royal expert and author Katie Nicholl details the Princess of Wales' 41st birthday plans and how Kate will be making her new important role her own in 2023
The Princess of Wales will mark her 41st birthday next week by enjoying a family party with husband Prince William, their three children and the Middletons.
"Kate loves to have her parents and her family there for her birthdays. She will bake a cake and it will just be about being together as a family. After gaining her new title following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in September, Kate is hoping 2023 will be the year she can really make the role her own.And she also knows she has big shoes to fill after it was previously held by her mother in law, the late Princess Diana, but over the next 12 months she is looking to carve out her own path, says Katie.
“Ever since she married into the family and became William’s wife, Kate knew the Diana comparison would be there,” Katie tells OK!. "She knows it’s a more high-profile role and an important title with a huge amount of history, heritage, weight and burden, but what’s so charming about her is that managed to stay very true to herself and authentic.”
And Katie says that the Duchess will use the royal tours she carries out with William this year to continue her focus on the subject. "We have increasingly seen the children emerging more into the spotlight, and whilst they’re not going to do anything to disrupt their routine and their very normal, happy childhood, I wouldn’t be surprised if we do see them on a tour abroad this year.”
“I certainly think in her solo work that’s where we’ll see her pick up with those charities and patronages that aren’t as high profile as her early years work and really make sure that they’re back in the mainstream after Covid and lockdown,” Katie, author of The New Royals, adds. "He absolutely recognises and appreciates what she brings. She is a huge asset and no one sees that more than the King.
“It will be a new defining image of the future of the monarchy of which William and Kate hold a very pivotal position. Both William and Kate have these two very new and high-profile roles and there is more responsibility and pressure on them. "I think that image of the four of them is going to be very apparent at the coronation and it’s going to set the tone for the future. I think that’s what we’re going to see a lot of next year.”
"I think they are equally proud of each other but they‘ve really needed to be there for each other over these last couple of years and I think Kate has been a huge support at a time when he really needed it.”
