The Prince of Wales has paid tribute to his wife on her 43rd birthday, calling her the “most incredible wife and mother” whose strength this year has been “remarkable”, the Telegraph reports.
In a rare personal message on social media from “W” and their three children, he added: “The strength you’ve shown over the last year has been remarkable. George, Charlotte, Louis and I are so proud of you. Happy Birthday, Catherine. We love you. W.”
It is an unusual break in custom for the couple, who traditionally prefer to share such sentiments privately.
But the Princess’s illness this year has inspired a greater openness in communicating directly with the public, with the Prince wanting to share his admiration for his wife for all to see.
The message is accompanied by a new photograph of the Princess, taken by Matt Porteous in Windsor over the summer.
The black and white image, which features her distinctive engagement ring prominently, is an unusual style for the Princess, who has recently preferred wholesome photoshoots of her family out in the countryside.
