Ahead of the milestone birthday, Kensington Palace released three new portraits taken by London’s Kew Gardens photographer Paolo Roversi. The duchess looked more regal than ever in the images, which People reports will be placed in the National Portrait Gallery as part of the permanent collection. In one image, Middleton wears a one-shoulder red satin gown and a pair of diamond earrings that belonged to the 95-year-old matriarch.

Another portrait saw the mom in an off-the-shoulder gown paired with pearl and diamond drop earrings and her sapphire engagement ring, both from the late Princess Diana’s collection.

And then, the third picture shows Middleton smiling widely directly into the camera.

These are just so gorgeous!!!

This year, Middleton reportedly will be keeping her birthday plans low-key due to the surge of coronavirus cases in the UK right now. But hopefully, she still has a great day anyway!
