In a delightful twist, the Queen has reportedly given her blessing for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to host a joint celebration for their 40th birthdays at one of her royal residences.

According to the Daily Mirror, this festive occasion is set to take place later this summer, either at the majestic Windsor Castle or the picturesque Sandringham Estate.

This celebration comes after a previously planned birthday party for Kate was scrapped back in January due to a surge in COVID-19 cases.

Now, both William and Kate will finally get to celebrate this milestone together, making it all the more special.

While details remain scarce, the Queen, who is now 96 years old, will make a last-minute decision on her attendance based on her current mobility challenges.

The royal family has a tradition of marking significant birthdays with grandeur.

For instance, there was the extravagant Dance of the Decades party held at Windsor Castle in June 2000.

That event celebrated several royal milestones, including Prince Andrew’s 40th and Princess Anne’s 50th, among others.

William officially turned 40 on Tuesday, and Kensington Palace took the opportunity to release three striking photographs of him.

One image captured him selling copies of The Big Issue on the streets of London, aiming to raise awareness about homelessness.

This cause holds a special place in his heart, a passion ignited by his mother, Princess Diana, during his formative years.

In an article for The Big Issue, William expressed his commitment to using his platform for good.

He stated, “I have always believed in using my platform to help tell those stories and to bring attention and action to those who are struggling.”

As he steps into this new decade, he is determined to amplify his efforts in addressing homelessness, which he sees as a solvable issue.
