Kate Middleton always goes the extra mile for her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, especially when it comes to their birthdays. As the youngest member of the family, Louis’ sixth birthday on April 23rd will be no exception.
During her appearance on Mary Berry’s A Berry Royal Christmas in 2019, Princess Kate shared her passion for baking and revealed that she personally crafts her children’s birthday cakes, a cherished tradition in their home.
Despite facing preventative cancer treatment, Princess Kate is determined to ensure Louis’ birthday is incredibly special. In a statement, she emphasized that both she and Prince William are committed to maintaining a sense of normalcy while caring for their children.
Danielle Stacey says: “The Princess of Wales’s number one priority has always been her children since becoming a mother and she has been supporting George, Charlotte and Louis through all their major milestones, including George’s first big exams last year.
“The Wales family are experiencing a difficult time with Kate’s cancer diagnosis and her ongoing preventative chemotherapy, but no doubt the Princess will want to ensure that moments like Prince Louis’ birthday and her wedding anniversary are celebrated.”
Danielle adds: “We’ve seen the Princess take some incredibly fun and playful portraits of her children over the years and baking their birthday cakes so she’s likely to feel that it’s important to keep these traditions going to maintain a sense of normality.”
Princess Kate is likely to spend the eve of Louis’ birthday in the kitchen. “I love making the cake,” she told Mary Berry. “It’s become a bit of a tradition that I stay up ’til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much. But I love it.”
Louis’ birthday is just around the corner, but Princess Charlotte’s follows shortly on May 2nd, and Prince George’s big day is on July 22nd, meaning there’s plenty of cake-making in store for the Princess. The passion for baking that Kate possesses is also instilled in her children, who often commemorate special moments with delightful homemade treats.
