To mark the occasion, a gorgeous new photoshoot of Kate was released on her and Prince William’s official Instagram account. “Delighted to share a new portrait of The Duchess ahead of her 40th birthday tomorrow,” the caption reads. “This is one of three new portraits which will enter the permanent collection of the @nationalportraitgallery, of which The Duchess is Patron.” The images were shot by photographer Paolo Roversi, an Italian photographer whose work has appeared in VOGUE. The photos were reportedly taken in November in the Kew Gardens. The portraits will enter the permanent Collection of the National Portrait Gallery, where Kate is Patron. Queen Elizabeth also wished Kate a happy birthday. Prince Charles and wife Camilla shared their well wishes as well. How will Kate be spending her 40th birthday?
