Kate Middleton Had a Second Birthday Party Outside of London

Kate Middleton celebrated her 37th birthday on January 9 at her home (Kensington Palace, casual) with husband Prince William and their three children—Prince George, Prince Louis, and Princess Charlotte. But it turns out that when you’re a royal, one birthday bash just doesn’t cut it. The Duchess of Cambridge apparently had a SECOND birthday party outside of London.

According to royal correspondents Emily Andrews and Omid Scobie—who host royal celebrity podcast On Heir—Kate got to celebrating a little bit early this year. Aside from her Kensington Palace celebration on the day of her actual birthday, Kate reportedly had a private party last Sunday at her and Prince William’s country home (Anmer Hall) in Norfolk, England.

Reportedly in attendance at the casual evening were Prince Louis’ godmother Laura Meade, as well as Prince George’s godmother Emilia Jardine Patterson (Kate’s friend from university).

Both Meade and Patterson recently attended church service with Prince William and Kate Middleton on January 6:

Cute! It’s fun to see Prince William and Kate Middleton still making time for old friends (turned godparents) despite busy schedules and three children. Happy birthday, Duchess Kate!
