Princess Kate is set for a major celebration amid her family holiday, as Prince William will also make a key decision.
The Princess of Wales is expected to join her family tomorrow to celebrate her younger brother James Middleton’s 38th birthday.
Kate, 43, is currently enjoying the Easter school holidays with her husband and three children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six.
Whilst the royal calendar is often filled with formal state banquets, charity galas and official tours, it’s the quieter family moments that can hold the most meaning.

The gathering on April 15 is likely to be an intimate one, bringing the Middletons together for the special occasion.
The celebration marks a personal milestone for the Royal Family, away from the public duties that typically dominate headlines.
This birthday holds particular significance as it’s James’s second since becoming a father. James and his wife Alizée Thevenet welcomed their son Inigo in October 2023.
While details of the family gathering remain private, it represents one of those meaningful royal-adjacent moments that occur away from the public eye.

James’s birthday also coincides with a key decision for the Prince of Wales, as his beloved football team, Aston Villa, is playing against Paris Saint-Germain at Villa Park in Birmingham on the same day.
The future King, therefore, must decide if he will join his brother-in-law for his birthday celebrations or watch his beloved team play football.
Since becoming a father, James has occasionally shared glimpses of his family life on social media.

Last month, for UK Mother’s Day, he posted a tribute to Alizée alongside a photo of her with baby Inigo, writing: “Happy Mothers to all the amazing Mothers but an extra bit of love for this one.”
In January, James shared a carousel of family photos from a winter holiday.
He reflected on fatherhood in the caption, writing: “I can’t believe how quickly Inigo is growing up—in fact that scares me the most…I fear if I blink I will miss it.”
