Princess Kate set to continue beloved birthday tradition for Prince George's 12th celebration
Princess Kate will be preparing to celebrate her son Prince George's 12th birthday on Tuesday - and the future Queen will be doing something very special the night before
Princess Kate is mere days away from participating in a delightful tradition she previously admitted she "loves". The Princess of Wales, 43, will be marking her eldest son Prince George 's birthday on Tuesday, as the young prince reaches 12.
Whilst the family's private celebration plans remain under wraps, supporters can likely predict what Kate will be up to the night before. This stems from the future Queen previously disclosing a cherished annual ritual she performs ahead of her three children's birthdays.
During her appearance on Mary Berry's 'A Berry Royal Christmas' in 2019, Prince William's spouse revealed she personally creates birthday cakes for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis each year.
The princess is understood to have a passion for baking and frequently burns the midnight oil crafting cakes for her offspring, establishing this as a beloved custom, reports the Express.
She confided to Mary Berry: "I love making the cake."
"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."
Whether the princess extends this baking tradition to her husband Prince William, 43, for his special day remains unclear.
Whilst the family are presently savouring their summer break, they'll probably release a fresh photograph of George to publicly commemorate his milestone.
The Prince and Princess of Wales maintain this annual practice for each of their children's birthdays, bringing immense joy to Royal enthusiasts. In May, a delightful snapshot of Princess Charlotte on a family stroll was unveiled to commemorate her 10th birthday.
The previous month, an adorable photo of Prince Louis, sans front teeth, was circulated in honour of his seventh birthday.
