Prince William, Kate Middleton skip key honour in birthday wish for Camilla

Prince William and Kate Middleton had a special message to share for Queen Camilla as she celebrated a major milestone on her big day.

The Queen Consort, who turned 78 on Thursday, July 17, received birthday greeting from the Prince and Princess of Wales. They had shared the portrait released by the royal family and captioned it as “Happy Birthday to Her Majesty” with a birthday cake emoji.

While the greeting appeared to be as per standard protocol of the Kensington Palace, but there was no acknowledgement of the new honour that was bestowed to Camilla by King Charles, just one day prior.

It was announced on Wednesday that Camilla has been appointed as the new Vice Admiral of the United Kingdom – an honour first created by King Henry VIII in 1513.
