Kate Middleton starred in a new video released for her 44th birthday, and her outfit hinted at a connection to her youngest child, Prince Louis.

Two years after being diagnosed with cancer, the Princess of Wales has moved into a new house, changed her approach to style, and is getting ready to wield one special royal power.

Prince William and his wife Kate, the Princess of Wales, stepped out for their first outing of the year on Thursday, Jan. 8.

The princess announced in 2025 that she was in remission after she revealed in 2024 that she had been diagnosed with cancer.

The two women are “too different to be compared,” a royal commentator said. They may have both at one point carried the same royal title—the Princess of Wales—but Princess Diana and Kate Middleton are two different women.

Kate Middleton just wore the $525 Small Hudson bag from DeMellier in a chocolate brown suede that’s perfect for both formal and casual outings. Amazon has plenty of similar mini suede totes available,

The Princess of Wales may have a large number of heritage gems at her disposal, but she often chooses more understated pieces.
