How the British royals celebrate their birthdays

For most of us, a birthday is an excuse to go big and celebrate in style–get dressed up, host a party, and revel in the chaos! But for most of the British royals, it's an excuse to do the exact opposite. Unless it's a big milestone birthday, they appreciate the chance to take a day off from hosting and dressing up. That being said, there are still certain traditions that must be adhered to. The Prince and Princess of Wales’ youngest child, Prince Louis, is turning six on April 23. Despite a difficult year for the young royal family following Kate Middleton’s recent cancer diagnosis, Louis’ birthday will still be celebrated with their yearly tradition. Middleton previously revealed that she always stays up late to prepare her children’s birthday cakes the night before. “It’s become a bit of a tradition that I stay up ‘til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much,” she explained. “But I love it.” It’s also tradition to release an official photo on each child’s birthday, but this has recently caused controversy for the family as Middleton was accused of photoshopping recent family photos amid rumors of her illness.
