The Princess of Wales is celebrating her 43rd birthday on Thursday after a difficult, challenging year.
Kate will be marking the occasion at home in Windsor, with husband the Prince of Wales and their children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and six-year-old Prince Louis.
Next week marks a year since Kate was admitted to hospital for abdominal surgery on January 16, just seven days after her 42nd birthday.
