Kate at 40: friends and ex-aides give account of royal's journey | Daily Mail Online
How Kate learned to hit all the right notes at 40:
What really happened between her and Meghan and how William furiously defends her against criticism - as the duchess reaches a milestone, her friends and ex-aides give a rare account of her royal journey
Duchess of Cambridge is preparing to turn 40 next weekend Many of those close to her have shared accounts of her royal journeyThey say Kate has finally 'bloomed' and 'come into her own' as royal

As she prepares to turn 40 next weekend, the Duchess of Cambridge knows that by her next landmark birthday, she'll have become the Princess of Wales — a title that's lain dormant since the death of Diana, the mother-in-law she never met.
As with everything associated with the Royal Family, her apprenticeship as future queen has been slow. Too slow, say some. But, astutely alert to the royals' unflustered ways, Kate has refused to be rushed.
Of course, one of our monarchy's immutable strengths is its repudiation of the modern fad to bend to prevailing fashion.
:) Lovely warm photo.

All four of Prince Albert's children have posed together for the first in a picture shared by Jazmin Grimaldi. Jazmin, 29, the Prince's illegitimate daughter with Tamara Rotolo shared a year in review round-up showing several photos from through the year. It included a shot where she poses with her half-siblings on a bench. Dressed down in jeans and crop top, with her hair in pigtails, the California-based royal wraps her hair around half-brother Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste, 18, Albert's son with flight attendant Nicole Coste.Also pictured are twins Jacques, Hereditary Prince of Monaco and Princess Gabriella, 7, Albert's children with Princess Charlene.
Gosh she has grown up quickly!
The Daily Mail are fishing up very old photos of Princess Elizabeth and Margaret at Teenagers in Pantomime!
Nothing new!
So I thought I would share them just in case some people have not seen them before!

When they were young!
Buckingham Palace seem to be throwing a lot of Wills and Kate at the public of late!
I don't even like the new photos of her, they don't look natural to me.
Stunning.
Sorry don't agree RnR it doesn't look like a natural photo of her. She is all teeth and hardly and lips!
As it is an official photograph, I imagine that it has been air-brushed etc.
Have to agree Axel, three "formal" portraits were released, taken by Italian fashion photographer Paolo Roversi in Kew Gardens. Obviously edited as you say. Not to be compared with natural shots taken by the Duchess herself or the media during the many events she attends.
These were the other two.
Looking back over the years at Kate and Williams wedding just hours after the wedding.

I was just looking back at Diana, taken formally they are a bit stiff! One is great with the boys though.
But I prefer this one of her!
Oh dear I wonder what the royals thought about this photo, Diana looks very tired and the princes look as if they have had a nice drink!
Princess Haya is awarded £554MILLION in Britain's biggest ever divorce settlement to protect her from ex, the ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum: Ruling also reveals she paid 'blackmailers' £7m to keep her affair with bodyguard secret
Princess Haya bint Hussein (seen left, outside court; and with Sheikh Mohammed at Ascot) will receive a lump sum payment of £251m as part of a 'clean break' from one of the world's richest men, Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum. A further £290m has been awarded to pay for maintenance for his two children Jalila, 14, and Zayed, 9, for the rest of their lives. The bulk of the £251m will be used for security costs to keep the princess and her young children safe from kidnap. And, in another bombshell, the judgement revealed how Princess Haya alleged that she had paid out £7million to 'blackmailers' on her security staff to keep secret her affair with her British bodyguard, Russell Flowers, (inset) which led to the breakdown of her marriage.
