34 years ago today, Catherine Elizabeth Middleton was born at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading, England.
Details on how the Duchess of Cambridge celebrates her birthday are never made public by Kensington Palace, since it"s a personal occasion.
However, in years past, Catherine has reportedly kept things low-key on her big day. For her 31st birthday, Catherine and Prince William were spotted watching Cirque du Soleil at the Royal Albert Hall with friends and family.
This year will most likely be spent with her own growing family at Anmer Hall. And no, I don"t imply any bun in the oven when I say "growing."
