“She is Kate Middleton to us when she is socialising privately! Congratulations to the Funghi Club, Hungerford, my local and lovely town,” one local resident wrote.

Kate’s official title is Catherine, Princess of Wales, which she received when Prince William became Prince of Wales following King Charles’s accession to the throne in September 2022. She also holds the titles Duchess of Cornwall and Duchess of Cambridge.

A Reflective Birthday Message

On her birthday, Catherine also marked the occasion by releasing the final instalment of her “Mother Nature” video series. The short film, titled “Winter”, showed the Princess taking an early morning walk in Berkshire.

In a reflective voiceover, she spoke about her cancer journey and the solace she has found in nature.

“To discover the deepest parts of ourselves. Alongside the whispers in the pulse of every living thing,” she said.

“I find myself reflecting on how deeply grateful I am.

“For the rivers within us flow with ease, fears washed away, cleanse and purify. Come to peace with our tears and discover what it means to be alive.”
