It’s a special day in the
Cambridge household with double celebrations to mark for Prince William and Kate.
Firstly, the Duke is turning
40 and will mark his big milestone in private with his wife Kate and their
three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince
Louis.
Secondly, it’s also an
important day for the Duchess’ parents, Michael and Carole Middleton, who
are celebrating their 42nd wedding anniversary on Tuesday.
Carole met flight dispatcher
Michael while she was working as a flight attendant for British Airways and the
pair married on 21 June 1980 in Buckinghamshire. The couple welcomed their
first child Catherine in 1982, followed by Pippa Middleton in 1983, and their
youngest child and only son, James Middleton, in 1987.
No doubt the Cambridges and
the Middletons will be sending each other well wishes on Tuesday. William is
very close with his in-laws and has previously spoken of his fondness for them.

During a trip to Scotland last
year where he met first responders, one guest said they had not seen their
in-laws for a year due to lockdowns and the pandemic. William joked: “Some
people are quite happy they haven’t seen their in-laws for a year.” After
some laughter, he added: “I love my in-laws.”
