Princess Kate was "spoiled" on her 42nd birthday, according to a royal commentator, after "weathering the Omid Scobie storm".
Royal commentator Jennie Bond opened up about how Kate likely celebrated the big day.
She said: "Luckily the children don’t go back to school until January 10, so the family can celebrate the last day of the Christmas holidays and Catherine’s birthday at the same time."

Bond explained how Kate's 41st birthday was less "smooth" due to Prince Harry releasing his bombshell memoir Spare on January 10, the day after the royal's celebrations.
She continued: "Last year her birthday coincided with all the publicity about Harry’s book, which was about to be published.
"This year things are looking much smoother for Catherine and her family.
"She has also weathered the storm of Omid Scobie’s book and I’m sure William and the children will want to spoil her with cards and special gifts.
Princess Kate, who turned 42 today, likely spent her birthday in Windsor alongside her husband and children.
PA"There is no doubt that the princess would value nothing more than some handcrafted presents from her children.
"Perhaps their granny, Carole, will help them make a birthday cake for her - after all, Catherine has always enjoyed helping the children learn to bake.
"I’m sure Catherine’s parents would love to make a fuss of their daughter and it may be that William will want to treat his wife to a romantic birthday dinner, but with school starting the next morning, they are more likely to spend the evening sorting out uniforms and school bags ready for the start of term!"
Bond explained how Princess Kate is embracing her 40s since she hit the milestone decade in 2022.
Kate was likely celebrating her birthday with her husband and three children.
PALATEST ROYAL NEWS:
King Charles previously referred to Princess Kate as his ‘beloved daughter-in-law’.
PAShe continued to tell The Sun: "I think Catherine has embraced her 40s and is now more comfortable in her skin and in her role than ever before. Some women may find their 40s intimidating, but Catherine is successful, confident and popular.
"Her family is, we can presume, complete and she is dividing her time between her children and a big role on the world stage.
"And she is doing it with composure, dignity and a wonderful common touch. She has nailed being royal and yet still relatable.
"She is the shining star of a modern monarchy, and it’s no surprise that King Charles refers to her as his ‘beloved daughter-in-law’. I don’t think she will lose any sleep over the fact that she is going to be 42."
