‘I remembered Kate’s birthday so I was OK,’ jokes Duke of Cambridge
The Duke of Cambridge is in his wife’s good books after he “remembered” her 37th birthday – but he remained tightlipped about the present.
William joked about his partner’s milestone when he was given a homemade birthday card for Kate during an event celebrating the 30th anniversary of London’s Air Ambulance Charity.
The card was made by Alma Shahar, six, whose father Yair Shahar, 49, had been given critical treatment by the air ambulance after being run over by a car when cycling in north London in 2016.
The duke said “I did remember this morning, so I was OK,” when given the card made by the young girl, whose family met the royal during his trip to the Royal London Hospi- tal in east London. But when questioned about what he had given his wife as a gift, he laughed off the question.
The six-year-old wrote in the card: “Kate, I hope you’ve had the best birthday you could ever imagine.”
Kate received other birthday wishes from around the globe, with royal households, British embassies and charities which she supports as patron posting their congratulations.
Kensington Palace thanked the public for their “lovely messages”.
The Duchess of Cambridge has had a busy 12 months on the family front, giving birth to Louis last April to become a mother of three.
