Duchess Kate is popular with the Royal Family.

The third shot by Roversi brings a little more color into the game. The wife of Prince William * (39) can be seen in a bright red one-shoulder dress, her hair is gently wavy. The photos were taken in Kew Gardens, in south-west London. As the palace reveals, the birthday portraits are being transferred to the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery, whose patron is Kate, a passionate photographer *. The 40-year-old compatriots can, however, initially admire the pictures as part of the “Coming Home” exhibition in Berkshire, St. Andrews – Williams and Kate’s study place where they met – and Anglesey.

Duchess Kate: A quiet day of honor with her family

Paolo Roversi’s photos express Duchess Kate’s changes over the past few decades. The middle-class Kate Middleton, who actually dreamed of a life far away from the cameras *, has become a self-confident and popular duchess who leads the British crown into the future.

The royal jubilee will probably celebrate her big milestone in private. Duchess Kate is said to have wished for a small-group birthday party with her family *, which will probably take place at her country estate in Norfolk. * 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
