- The Queen has approved plans for a joint celebration to mark both Prince William and Kate’s milestone 40th birthdays
- Kate actually turned 40 at the beginning of the year, but due to Covid-19 concerns her birthday plans were postponed.
- This royal news comes after royal fans said the same thing about Prince Louis in Prince William’s Father’s Day photo.
The Queen is reportedly planning a special joint birthday event for Prince William and Kate to mark their 40th birthdays. Her grandson, William turns 40 on the 20th of June, with Kate having hit the milestone earlier this year.
Because of Kate’s birthday delay, the Queen has given the green light for a joint celebration, to be held at either Windsor Castle or the Sandringham estate. A source shared to the Mirror that the Queen wants to couple to "celebrate their landmark birthdays in style".
Kate, who turned 40 on the 9th of January released a stunning birthday portrait to mark her special day but opted for a quieter celebration with William and the Cambridge children.

While this is the first time that the couple will be enjoying a joint birthday event, it’s actually not unusual for the royal family to throw big bashes to celebrate a number of milestone birthdays.
In June 2000, for example, the family threw a party for Princess Margaret's 70th, Prince Andrew’s 40th, Princess Anne’s 50th and Prince William’s 18th birthday.
