On the evening of Kate Middleton’s 37th birthday, which took place on January 9, Prince William pulled out all the stops to make sure his wife felt extra special. At their cozy Kensington Palace home, William organized a small, intimate dinner party with a few close friends. Guests toasted Kate with glasses of champagne and indulged in a feast that William had meticulously planned. “He brought in a top-notch chef to prepare an extravagant five-course dinner,” revealed a royal insider in Closer Weekly’s latest issue, currently available on newsstands. The menu featured gourmet dishes like shrimp risotto and perfectly grilled steak, followed by Kate’s all-time favorite dessert—sticky toffee pudding. It was a night filled with love and laughter, making it a truly memorable celebration.
Surprises Galore for the Duchess of Cambridge
This birthday celebration wasn’t just about the dinner. Kate’s special day was brimming with surprises, and one of the most touching gestures came from her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, who is also 37. “She sent over a little gift and wrote Kate a heartfelt birthday card,” the source shared. Both women are keen to put an end to the rumors of any tension between them. “Meghan’s really upset about all the negative press, and she hopes her gesture toward Kate will help mend their relationship,” the insider added. It seems that Meghan is extending an olive branch, and Kate certainly appreciated the act of goodwill.
A Developing Friendship
While their personalities may differ, the bond between Kate and Meghan continues to grow. “Their relationship is still developing,” the insider noted. As Meghan and Prince Harry prepare for the arrival of their first child in the spring, the two duchesses may find more common ground. Parenthood could bring them closer together, creating a stronger connection between the two women who share a royal life.

A Day Spent with Family
Kate spent much of her birthday with her children—Prince George, who is 5, Princess Charlotte, 3, and baby Prince Louis, who was just 8 months old at the time. The older kids were thrilled to celebrate their mom's special day. They couldn’t wait to help her blow out the candles during an after-school tea party. “George and Charlotte even made their mom birthday cards in their arts and crafts class,” the source revealed. It’s clear that Kate cherishes the moments she spends with her little ones, and this birthday was no exception.
Unfortunately, William couldn’t join the family celebration earlier in the day due to his royal duties. He was at the London Royal Hospital, where he happily accepted birthday cards for Kate. “Well done for remembering,” he said to two children who handed him handmade greetings. “I did remember this morning, so that was OK!” William may have been busy, but he certainly didn’t forget the importance of the day.
And if you thought the dinner and gifts were enough, William had one more surprise up his sleeve. He presented Kate with a stunning pair of custom diamond earrings. “He always puts a lot of thought into Kate’s presents,” the source admitted. This beautiful gift was the perfect finishing touch to a day filled with love and celebration.
