Kate Middleton's birthday wishes
According to Daily Mail, in the few days leading up to Kate Middleton's 41st birthday, Prince Harry gave a series of interviews to promote his new memoir, "Spare." It's clear that the royal family didn't want this to take away from the birthday celebrations for Kate Middleton. Per Express, the official Twitter account of the royal family tweeted, "Wishing The Princess of Wales a very Happy Birthday today!"
Fans were quick to comment on the tweet with good wishes for the Princess of Wales, as well as disapproval for Prince Harry's words and the unfortunate timing of his interviews. Some fans even implied that Prince Harry may have chosen to give interviews when he did in an attempt to overshadow Kate's birthday. While not all fans who wished the Princess of Wales a happy 41st birthday theorized about the strategy behind Prince Harry's press junket, they did make it clear that Princess Kate has plenty of fans in her corner, and it's safe to say that most of her royal in-laws are among them.
