Kate Middleton is getting ready to celebrate her 32nd birthday tomorrow (Jan. 9). According to reports the Duchess of Cambridge will most likely have a small and intimate affair with her close family and friends at Kensington Palace.
This will be Middleton's first birthday as a mother since giving birth to baby Prince George in June. One person who won't be in attendance for the birthday festivities is Prince William, who just started a 10-week college program at the University of Cambridge for agriculture management.
According to The Daily Beast, the Duke of Cambridge will be at classes for most of the day but is expected to celebrate his wife's birthday later that evening. It hasn't been revealed what special gift he has for Middleton but there have been rumors that Prince William arranged for his wife to meet singer Taylor Swift. Reportedly Middleton is a fan of her music.
"William's been trying to get Kate's surprise sorted for January 9 when she turns 32," a source told Closer Magazine. "When he met Taylor Swift recently he asked her if there's any likelihood she's in the UK for the New Year, or just after, because he knows Kate's a fan and she's love to meet the singer."
In the past he has presented Middleton with some very lavish gifts including pearl earrings and a romantic trip to Scotland. Last year for her 31st birthday Prince William took Middleton, her parents, her brother and sister to a Cirque du Soleil show.
Earlier, Middleton's mom was spotted doing some last minute shopping in anticipation of the birthday celebrations.
"Carole came into London from Bucklebury for a shopping spree on the Kings Road... She spent about an hour and half in peter Jones where she was browsing and purchasing items from the Lancôme counter," a source told E! News.
