It's believed Kate will be spending her birthday with her family at her home in Windsor. Her birthday falls on the same day as the state funeral of former US President Jimmy Carter. 

William’s uncle, the Duke of Edinburgh, will travel to Washington, DC, and represent King Charles rather than the heir to the throne, as has often been the custom for the funerals of American leaders.

William is expected to stay with his family and celebrate Kate's special day.
