The Duchess of Cambridge is celebrating her 38th birthday today. The mum-of-three is set to spend the day with her darling family who have been wishing her well this morning.

The Royal Family marked Kate’s birthday by sharing the sweetest tributes on their official social media platforms.

Prince Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall posted numerous photos from official royal events and the sweetest snap of Prince Charles, Kate and Prince William.

Alongside the images, they wrote, “Wishing The Duchess of Cambridge a very Happy Birthday.”

It is understood that Kate kick-started her birthday celebrations last weekend at her family’s home in Norfolk.

Kate’s friends and family gathered at their home Anmer Hall on Sunday. The Duchess was joined by her parents, Thomas Van Straubenzee and his fiancée Lucy Lanigan-O'Keeffe, James Meade and his wife Laura.

Kate is expected to mark today with a low-key celebration at her and Prince William’s home in Kensington Palace.

The parents have no engagements in the royal diary today so they’ll be able to enjoy some quality family time with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Season three of The Crown has received heaps of praise since it aired on Netflix last weekend. However, we must admit we do miss the old cast.

Claire Foy and Matt Smith’s on-screen chemistry was so endearing and the show just isn’t the same without them. Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies are phenomenal, but we can’t help but miss the original royals.

But fear not, we may be seeing more of Claire Foy in future episodes. The actress was spotted filming flashback scenes for season four of The Crown and we couldn’t be happier about her return.

The actress will return to play Queen Elizabeth II for a special throwback scene. She was photographed delivering the Queen’s famous 21st birthday speech scene this week.

The snap was shared on fan account 'Claire Foy Club' and followers were thrilled to see Claire return.

One said, “Season 3 is not the same without her! So glad we will see her again!”

Another added, “Bring them all back. I really miss all the actors.”

“I love The Crown & Claire Foy is my favourite Queen,” another gushed.

Claire Foy starred as Queen Elizabeth in the first two seasons of The Crown. However, the actress was then replaced by Olivia Colman who portrays a middle-aged Queen Elizabeth in season three and four of the popular drama series.

As much as we adore Colman’s portrayal, there’s something about Claire’s that is impossible to beat. 

We can’t help but wonder if more of the original cast will be featured in a future episode.

We’d love to see Vanessa Kirby dazzle as Princess Margaret again.

Netflix just revealed the release date for series three of The Crown and we are counting down the days. The third instalment of the drama series airs on Netflix on November 17, 2019.

To announce the news we’ve all been waiting for, Netflix posted a short clip of Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II and we’ve got chills.

In the video, the monarch simply walks past the camera and looks at the camera but it is bound to give you goosebumps.

Last month, Tobias Menzies, who will play Prince Philip, spilled that the series would return in November.

He spilled the beans during an interview on Jo Good’s BBC Show.

"We shot season three and that starts in November," he told the broadcaster.

We only have over three months to wait until the third instalment of the drama series airs.

It has been confirmed that the upcoming season will focus on Princess Margaret’s troubled love life, as it follows the breakdown of her marriage to Antony ‘Tony’ Armstrong-Jones'. We will also be introduced to Camilla Parker Bowles in season three.

There will also be a huge focus on the life of Prince Charles, including his relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles this season.

Call The Midwife’s Emerald Fennell will play Camilla Parker Bowles and Josh O’ Connor will play Prince Charles.

The show recently revealed that they had cast Princess Diana. 

It was announced that Emma Corrin will play Lady Diana Spencer in series four of The Crown.

Commenting on the major role, the actress gushed: “I have been glued to the show and to think I’m now joining this incredibly talented acting family is surreal.

All we can say is hurry up, November 17.

We’ve been waiting far too long for the third season of The Crown to return to Netflix and it looks like we’ll be waiting even longer than we hoped.

Fans of the show are going to have to wait another few months to see Olivia Colman, Tobias Menzies, Ben Daniels and Helena Bonham Carter take on the iconic roles of Britain’s Royal Family.

According to Deadline, the third season of The Crown will air in the second half of the year, which means we have to wait until after July to binge-watch the show.

Netflix commented: “We’re looking forward to a strong slate of global content in the second half of the year, including new seasons of some of our biggest series.”

It is understood that season three will be set during the 1970s. The Duke of Windsor passed away in 1972, so we have a feeling his death will be a major storyline during season three.

There’s no doubt the next season of The Crown will be worth the wait.

She swapped the world of acting for the world of tiaras and palaces, but it looks like Meghan Markle may be returning to her old roots.

Rumour has it the former actress may be returning to drama series Suits for a special episode.

It is believed that show bosses want her to reprise her role as Rachel Zane for a mere few minutes in one episode.

If Meghan would return to the show she would receive a huge donation for a charity of her choice. The donation could be anywhere between £2 and £6 million, The Mirror claimed.

“No final figure has yet been arrived at but negotiations are likely to be opened in the very near future,” a source stated.

"I’ve heard sums ranging from two to six million being kicked around and that sounds a lot – but it would be one of the biggest marketing coups in TV history.”

It is believed NBC Universal is eager for the former actress to return and believe this mass charity donation could sway the Queen, who has to give Meghan her approval to do so.

The Duchess would film the special scene in England and it would only take approximitely two days, according to sources.

Surely Meghan could take a break from her royal duties for a handful of days and channel her inner Rachel Zane again.

We’ll be eager to see if Queen Elizabeth says no to this proposal. We’re sure she’ll find it hard especially with such a massive charity donation on offer.

Prince Charles celebrates his 70th birthday tomorrow and Buckingham Palace has released the most beautiful photo in honour of his momentous day.

The future king posed with his dearest family in the new snap and our hearts just can’t handle how happy they all look.

Charles is sat beside wife Camilla Parker Bowles for the portrait. A cheeky Princess Charlotte is sat next to Camilla and Prince George is sat on his grandfather’s lap.

Just look at Charlotte’s cheeky grin, you can tell the princess is full of mischief.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge smile brightly and Kate holds their youngest child Prince Louis in her arms.

Harry and Meghan also joined their family for the occasion and the newlyweds are glowing.

A second snap of the family shows off their goofier side as they laugh at the camera. The candid moment is a breath of fresh air. It really is so sweet to see the royals acting natural and having fun as a family.

Prince William recently admitted that he would love for his dad to spend more time with his three children- Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis- so there’s no doubt the dad was thrilled when the family got together to take Charles’ special portrait.

There’s no doubt Charles will celebrate his birthday in the most lavish way with his family. He’ll certainly have a party fit for a king.

We adored every character in The Crown, from Queen Elizabeth herself to the dashing Antony Armstrong Jones. We even had a soft spot for Tommy Lascelles.

However, there was always one character who stood out from the crowd, the one and only Princess Margaret.

Vanessa Kirby dazzled as the rebellious royal during the first two seasons of the show. We were completely captivated by her performance, but what really grabbed our attention was the troubled life of Margaret herself.

We were stunned by just how devastating Margaret’s love life was, especially at such a young age. Our hearts ached for her when she was torn apart from Group Captain Peter Townsend.

Margaret always felt outshone by her older sister, Queen Elizabeth, and longed to be in the spotlight.

The princess will now have her moment, thanks to the BBC. They are producing a two-part documentary series based on the ‘life and loves’ of the monarch’s troubled sister.

According to The Telegraph, Vanessa Kirby’s successful performance in The Crown inspired this documentary series.

The programme is set to feature interviews with various acquaintances of the late princess, including Basil Charles, who once owned a bar on the island of Mustique, where the princess often holidayed.

 

He comments: "She was a trailblazer, she was a little bit of a rebel. She wanted to have the [royal] life but she also wanted to have a normal life.”

The series will look at her forbidden love, her rebellious ways and her struggle with living in Queen Elizabeth’s shadow.

Fans of The Crown have been spoiled with tons of new information about the upcoming season. The show may not be returning to our screens until 2019, but that doesn’t mean we’re not excited about it.

We can’t wait to see what happens in season three, which is set to feature some explosive storylines.

The show has been unveiling the new cast over the past few months, and we just can’t get enough of these announcements.

Today, Netflix revealed that Josh O'Connor and Marion Bailey are joining the cast of the Netflix original series.

Josh O'Connor will play Prince Charles. Speaking of his role as the future king of England, Josh said: “Seasons 3 and 4 will follow some of the most turbulent events in the Prince of Wales’s life and our national story and I’m excited to be bringing to life the man in the midst of it all.”

He added: “I’m very aware it’s a formidably talented family to be joining, but reliably informed I have the ears for the part and will fit right in."

Marion Bailey will take on the role of the Queen Mother, she gushed about her new role: “Wonderful to be joining The Crown. It’s a brilliant show and we have a tough act to follow but what a gift to be playing the fascinating and greatly loved Queen Mother. Thrilled to be on board and working with such a top notch team."

Earlier this year, Olivia Colman was confirmed as Queen Elizabeth. She will star alongside Tobias Menzie, who is set to play a middle-aged Prince Philip.

Helena Bonham Carter will star as Princess Margaret and Ben Daniels will star as her husband Anthony-Armstrong Jones.

Call The Midwife’s Erin Doherty will play Princess Anne.

We cannot wait for The Crown to return next year.

In possibly the sweetest news today, the Queen has adopted a new dog because she "fell in love" with him.

According to The Sun, the dog, who's name is Whisper, was owned by Sandringham's gamekeeper Bill Fenwick, who passed away at the beginning of this year.

And after the Queen took the dog out on a walk, she decided she had to keep him.

"The Queen has always had corgis but she made the decision four years ago not to breed any more because she didn’t want to have a bad fall," an insider told The Sun. 

“She was also concerned dogs might be left without an owner if anything happened to her.

"But she couldn’t resist Whisper and now she has asked Bill’s family if she can keep him."

The Queen was apparently very close to Bill, and his wife Nancy, who passed away many years ago.

We'd say Whisper is delighted with his new home.

In this day and age, everyone is on social media… even the Queen.

But of course, she has a million and one responsibilities under her belt, so she's looking for someone to tweet for her.

Posted on Queen Lizzie's website, the royal mother is looking for a "digital communications officer" to join her fast-paced team.

The job is full time and pays £30,000 (€35,370) a year. All you have to do is keep her Twitter, Facebook and YouTube channel up to date (who knew the Queen had a YouTube channel?!).

You will also have 33 days of paid holidays, as well as a "comprehensive benefits package."

Sounds pretty sweet to us. Want to know more? Check out the Royal Household's website here.

For the first time in 28 years, Queen Elizabeth will not be attending the traditional Christmas service in Sandringham.

Since 1988, the Queen and members of the Royal Family have celebrated Christmas at St Mary Magdalene Church, but the monarch’s ill health has left her unable to attend today’s service.

Releasing a statement to the press and public, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the Queen, who turned 90 this year, has made the decision to opt out of the service in an effort to recover from a cold.

“The Queen continues to recover from a heavy cold and will stay indoors to assist with her recovery.”

“Her Majesty will participate in the Royal Family Christmas celebrations during the day.”

Various other members of the Royal Family will attend the service as usual.

This cereal is certainly fit for a Queen – Queen Elizabeth that is. 

As of today, Queen Elizabeth II is the longest reigning monarch in all of British history – surpassing her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria. 

Her reign began on the 6th February 1952, yet her first royal duties didn't begin until the middle of the second World War. 

It's fair to say she has seen a lot in her time, with major constitutional changes such as the devolution of the UK and the decolonisation of Africa. 

As well as being the longest running monarch in England, she reaches another landmark around the world as she is now the 48th longest reigning monarch in all of history. 

Fair play Lizzie. 

To celebrate this day, Kelloggs have created a cereal fit for the Queen herself! 

The cereal is composed of gold leaf cornflakes, Special K. edible diamonds and pearls, and macadamia nuts – the Queen's favourite. 

Unfortunately, the royal flakes are not available world wide with only one Manchester café selling them. 

They are a bit pricey though with just one BOWL costing £6.30 (€8.65).

Yep… we think we'll stick to our Rice Crispies, thanks!
