Happy Birthday to the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton who turns 31 today. According to Royal sources she has said she will be celebrating her birthday 'privately'.  Whatever The Duchess does we hope she has a fantastic day and we hope Prince William surprises her with a lovely piece of jewellery!
