KING Charles has led the Royal Family in wishing Princess Kate a happy 43rd birthday with a sweet message.
She will mark her special day in Windsor with hubby Prince William, 42, and their children George, 11, Charlotte, nine, and six-year-old Louis.

King Charles and Queen Camila shared on X: “Happy Birthday to The Princess of Wales!”
The Monarch, 75, shared a picture of Kate attending the Royal Family’s traditional Christmas Day service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, Norfolk, last year.
Royal fans also inundated the mum-of-three with sweet well wishes.
One wrote: “I love the princess of Wales so much. She is an angel.”
Another penned: “Happy birthday to the beautiful princess.”
“Wishing Catherine the happiest of birthdays today. May today and the next year be wonderful for her. Much love to the Princess,” shared a third.
It comes as Kate marks a gradual return to work following a turbulent past 12 months.
Since her last birthday, the 43-year-old has remained largely out of the public eye after undergoing abdominal surgery and subsequently cancer treatment.
She announced in September last year that she had finished chemotherapy and would focus on being “cancer free” in a heartwarming video.
By the end of 2024, the Princess made more appearances including hosting her annual Together at Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey.
And that gradual return continues in 2025 — although fans have been warned not to expect Kate to be “rushing back to the same volume of work” as before.
It is also understood tours abroad are “not on the table”, despite Prince William last year saying they might “have some more trips lined up”.
Instead, Kate’s “primary focus” will be her Centre for Early Childhood and UK-based engagements. She is expected to be seen “up and down the country” this year.
She will also support the Royal Family at events such as Buckingham Palace Garden Parties, Trooping the Colour, Royal Ascot and the Remembrance Day commemorations.
A source said: “There is no huge reset button on her work and if you look to the back end of 2024 there was a gradual return of the Princess of Wales into more public engagements.
“That gradual return will continue into 2025 and it was an extremely warm and wonderful bookend to 2024 to see her at the carol service, and she continues that gradual return.”
Kensington Palace is working on her 2025 programme, which “balances work, being a mum and supporting her wider family” and public-facing engagements will continue this year.
A source said: “It would be wonderful to see the Princess of Wales up and down the country and this year I’m sure that will be the case.”
