Parents will do anything for their children and this includes royalty, who are used to a bit of pomp and tradition.
Despite only joining the Royal Family after marrying Prince William in 2011, Kate Middleton has gotten use to some of the traditions that she now has to follow. However, she is at the stage where she is starting to create her own, the Mirror reports.
The Duchess of Cambridge has three children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - and like any other parent, she likes to make them feel special on their birthdays. This goes right down to the cake they get.

It has now become a tradition in the Cambridge household for Kate to bake a cake for her childrens' birthdays. But this tradition goes to the point of when she bakes them.
Speaking to Mary Berry in 2019 during a special festive show called A Berry Royal Christmas, the Duchess revealed that after the children have gone to bed on the day before a birthday, she heads into the kitchen to bake their cake. She told the former Great British Bake Off judge about how much she loves doing it.
She said: "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. But I love it."
This means Kate will have been very busy recently as there were two birthdays in the last couple of weeks for the Cambridge children. On April 23, her youngest son Louis turned four.
Then on Monday (May 2), it was Charlotte's turn to celebrate as the family's only daughter, who is fourth in line to the throne, had her seventh birthday. It will be a couple more months before the Duchess is back doing a late night shift in the kitchen as George's ninth birthday will be on July 22.
