Kate Middleton 'Is Organizing A Special Birthday Surprise For Prince William,' Source Reveals

Kate Middleton 'is organizing a special birthday surprise for Prince William,' a source revealed.

Kate Middleton wants to make sure that her husband, Prince William, has an epic 40th birthday.

“Kate is organizing a special birthday surprise for William – an intimate party with friends,” a source told Us Weekly, adding that the shindig will not be “over-the-top."

The insider revealed that the two — who share Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4 — are planning a "low key" trip "to the coast" together.

On William's big day, he wrote, “Thank you for all the happy birthday messages today! W."

A few days before, the dad-of-three posted a sweet snapshot with his kiddos via Instagram. "Wishing a Happy Father’s Day to fathers and grandfathers across the world today!" he gushed.

These days, William and Kate are gearing up to leave London, but they aren't letting the stress get to them.

“He will be in charge of the Duchy of Cornwall, a billion-pound business empire, and will be expected to carry out far more royal engagements, especially abroad," a source told The Telegraph about William's future, as he is third in line to the throne. “He and Kate are in the happiest period of their lives now, before the weight of the world lands on their shoulders. They try to not think about what’s ahead.”

One of the reasons the pair want to shake things up is that they'll be closer to Queen Elizabeth and Kate's parents, Michael and Carole Middleton.

"The reality is they are quite confined in what they can do in London," a friend shared. "The kids can't go into the park and kick a football with friends. Their plan is to be there for the next 10 to 15 years and then move to Anmer, which is so special to them."

It's hardly a surprise the two wanted to move to the countryside, as rumors were swirling it was a possibility. “The need to move to Windsor is growing more and more. Andrew spends a lot of time with the Queen," a source told The Sun in April. "He lives next door and is always there for her. During the Covid lockdown, the family was glad Andrew was always on hand. There is not a man, woman or child who would not say he had every right to be at Philip’s thanksgiving. But the family have been adamant there’s no way back."
