According to sources, Prince William's failure to provide a public tribute on her birthday left the Princess feeling hurt. Despite the royal family's tendency to celebrate birthdays privately, Kate was expecting a grand gesture, especially after the controversies surrounding Omid Scobie's Endgame.
"The future king's silence on her auspicious day surely hurts the Princess," the source claimed.
Prince William, instead of acknowledging Kate's birthday, interrupted the day to pay tribute to the late Welsh rugby legend JPR Williams, who passed away at the age of 74.
In contrast, King Charles and the royal family shared a special birthday tribute for the future Queen. They posted a never-before-seen picture of Kate with the monarch, wearing a royal gown and tiara. The photo, capturing a behind-the-scenes moment at Buckingham Palace following the crowning ceremony at Westminster Abbey, included Prince Edward, Sophie, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.
Despite the private celebration, Princess Kate likely spent quality time with Prince Charles and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis on her 42nd birthday, which took place on Tuesday.
