Catherine celebrated her birthday on the eve of the release of Spare. The Princess turned 41 on Monday, Jan. 9. It was the royal’s first birthday as Princess of Wales.

The royal mom of three will reportedly be stepping out this week for her first public engagement of 2023.  The Telegraph  reported on Jan. 9 that Prince William and Catherine “will be in the north of England” this week “for a long-standing engagement supporting one of the country’s most hard-pressed communities.

According to The Telegraph, “Palace staff refuse to discuss Prince Harry’s book, but it is clear that Kate has no intention of being blown off course, with a high-profile public appearance coming later this week and a major announcement due towards the end of the month.”
