A birthday salute to our delightful Kate

SINCE she met Princewilliam more than 20 years ago when the two were students at St Andrews University, the Duchess of Cambridge has looked every bit like a future Queen with her elegance, grace and style.

Kate delights wherever she goes and represents both the Royal Family and this country beautifully – as was once again highlighted last year at the climate change summit in Glasgow.

No wonder the love she has inspired from all corners of society has remained so strong.

The Sunday Express joins the whole nation in sending our best wishes for her 40th birthday this weekend.
