Like the Queen, they used this birthday message as a way to show Kate looking so happy with different members of the royal family.

A gorgeous portrait

The Kensington Palace also marked the Duchess’ birthday by posting a portrait and sharing their best wishes in the caption.

Kate Middleton was pictured leaning against a wooden fence. She looks casual chic in a blue-and-white collar button-down shirt, a gray sweater and a pair of jeans.

If this picture looks familiar to you, it may be because the royal mom was spotted wearing a similar outfit in the Cambridge’s 2018 Christmas Card photo.

Below, she can be seen in the exact same outfit as she posed for a snap with her husband, Prince William and their children, Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte, and Prince George.

In fact, considering the background of both photos and the fact that Kate has on the same look, hairstyle included, it appears that this 2018 shoot was where she took the picture that has now been used for her 38th birthday portrait.

We can see why the Kensington Palace chose this snap. Kate’s bright smile and sparkly eyes take center stage. Her luscious hair and her overall look sure reflect the Duchess’ glowing beauty.

Kate’s family was also there to celebrate the big day with the royal mom. According to the DailyMail, Kate’s father, Michael, was pictured arriving at the Cambridge’s home to join the rest of the family to celebrate Kate’s birthday.
