On his 44th birthday, Prince William is unlikely to have a birthday cake experience similar to the cheeky one his late mother planned for his 13th birthday. His wife, the Princess of Wales, may have prepared a special gift and cake to mark the occasion.
Back when William turned 13, Princess Diana played a playful prank on him by ordering a unique birthday cake that left him embarrassed. The cake, unlike traditional ones, was a source of amusement for his brother Harry but caused William to blush.
Former Buckingham Palace chef, Darren McGrady, shared the amusing story of how Princess Diana ordered a birthday cake shaped like a pair of women’s breasts for William’s 13th birthday, much to William’s embarrassment.
Prince William was born at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, on June 21, 1982, as the first son of the then Prince and Princess of Wales. He broke royal tradition at just nine months old by accompanying his parents on an official tour.
William met Kate Middleton while studying at St Andrews University, and they married in 2011. They have since welcomed three children. Following the Queen’s passing, William and Kate were named the new Prince and Princess of Wales by the King in a significant national announcement.
While the title of Prince of Wales has historically been given to heirs to the throne like William, the decision to bestow it remains at the sovereign’s discretion.
