40th birthday photos

Gorgeous photos. Wishing Catherine a Happy Birthday.

Absolutely beautiful.

Catherine has an exquisite beauty. Whether dressed up or like many of us in casual wear. Before the anti Royals turn on me. She often wears High Street labels.

Happy Birthday Catherine.

Oh! Ah! I thought it was you Josie

Oh dear now it's sent it's self ?- but you get the gist. ?

Yes beautiful photos. Catherine looks different to the usual glimpses on TV.?

And of course, Happy Birthday. 40 wow - I must be getting old (er)

She's a very beautiful woman who seems to be more and more relaxed and at ease with herself, and her role in life, as each year passes. Lovely photos.

Gorgeous photos. I hope she has a lovely day.

She does look really different facially, especially in pictures 1 and 2.
I wonder if it’s because someone else has done her makeup? But it can’t be just that…
This is not a criticism btw - just a musing.

Happy Birthday Catherine, a huge asset to the Royal Family

Beautiful photos - love that red dress.
Happy Birthday Catherine. As Fanny says, a real asset to the Royal Family.

They look airbrushed and the middle one doesn’t look like her. Lovely photos before anyone jumps down my throat, I like the red dress and that she’s got her hands in the pockets.

Happy Birthday, future Queen. Love the photos.

Beautiful photos. I like the timeless one in the floaty white dress.

Finally realised who she reminds me of in these pictures!
Historian Bettany Hughes!

What fabulous photos of Kate. Her waist is so tiny, my Nan would have wanted to feed her up a bit.

As she matures, I can see her resembling her mother more and more.

Wish I'd looked like that at 40. Beautiful.

Beautiful photos, but I wouldn’t have recognised her.

Happy Birthday to Catherine. ?
She is poised, elegant and has beauty shining from her.
Can she really be 40? it seems just a short while ago she was at University with Prince William …… ?

I wouldn’t have know it was her - looks like a completely different person to me.

I agree - she does look slightly different, facially. She is a truly beautiful woman, nonetheless, very elegant and poised. Gorgeous photos. A real asset to the Royals - she conducts herself so well and has blended into the Royal family wonderfully well. She never puts a foot wrong or causes any controversy. Happy Birthday Catherine.

yes, beautiful professional photos..........

I thought Catherine looked different as well. I think she has matured into a beautiful woman and is so much more confident and at ease in her role. William & Catherine make a good team.

Wish one of the photos had her with an ‘updo’ hairstyle, as opposed to long, flowing locks in all of them.

Think she looks so elegant and regal with her hair like that.
