Kate Middleton and Prince William are proud parents of three.
The Princess and Prince of Wales share Prince George, born in 2013, Princess Charlotte, born in 2015, and Prince Louis, born in 2018. Their children often accompany them to public services and have already taken up royal duties of their own, but Kate and William make sure their kids' lives are mostly out of the spotlight.
As Kate celebrates her 43rd birthday on Jan. 9, 2025, see some of the royals' sweetest family photos — including their annual Christmas services and Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee!
