The Duchess of Cambridge, the former Kate Middleton, is turning 40 on Sunday after having emerged in recent years as Britain's reliable royal.
The Duchess of Cambridge, who turns 40 on Sunday, has emerged as Britain's reliable royal.
At a moment when the House of Windsor is facing more than its share of controversy, Prince William's spouse has won accolades for her commitment to early education, art and music. The charities she supports gush about her willingness to get personally involved in their causes. Tracy Rennie, deputy chief executive of East Anglia's Children's Hospices, has a similar account from the day Kate visited one of the organization's facilities in 2019. The duchess agreed to talk with the parents and other relatives of a child who had recently died because they wanted to meet her, even though their pain was still raw.
It was at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland that Kate first met Prince William, the elder son of the late Princess Diana and second in line to inherit the British throne after his father, Prince Charles. The tabloids dubbed her"Waity Katie" for her patience during their courtship. The couple eventually married at Westminster Abbey in 2011. They have three children.
While it wasn't a secret that Kate had studied the instrument, the pre-recorded performance during a nationally televised concert was something new altogether. Walker said he didn't know what to expect when the palace suggested the duchess might accompany him in performing the new song at the event.
