The ceremony took place at Pippa’s home in the beautiful Berkshire countryside, creating a joyful atmosphere filled with appreciation and togetherness. Princess Catherine, who is in care, was present with her children, eager to express their gratitude for the role Pippa has played in their lives during this difficult time. Pippa has had a challenging year, witnessing her sister’s struggles and has kept her public appearances to a minimum. At the party, George, Charlotte and Louis presented Pippa with a carefully wrapped gift, symbolising their gratitude for the comfort she provided while their mother focused on her recovery.

The gift included personalised items and heartfelt messages from the children, reflecting the close bond they shared with their aunt. Pippa was moved to tears by the touching gesture of thanks. Despite her difficult journey, Princess Catherine beamed as she was surrounded by her family, highlighting the importance of family support during difficult times. The event illustrated the Middleton family’s strong bond and commitment to each other.

The children’s thoughtful gesture reflected their deep gratitude to Pippa for her dedication and love. Her support has been instrumental in helping Catherine through her difficult journey, making the birthday celebrations special for everyone involved. As the family faces challenges and resilience together, this moment serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting each other through life's hardships. The children's gesture is a beautiful example of how love and gratitude persist even in difficult times.

To date, Princess Catherine has only made two public appearances in 2024. The first was at Trooping the Colour in June, where Pippa joined Princess Charlotte for an appearance and then at the Wimbledon men's singles final in July. Their close bond was evident as they enjoyed the family experience together. Pippa's bond with her niece Charlotte was particularly notable, especially when Charlotte greeted her mother with love during a standing ovation at Wimbledon.

The strength of the Middleton family bond was also evident when Pippa served as a bridesmaid at her sister's wedding to Prince William in 2011, and attended various royal events over the years. Although Pippa has not publicly celebrated her sister's birthday, they remain very close. After revealing news of her health in March, Princess Catherine has relied on the support of her family, especially her husband, Prince William. The princess's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, have also been supportive, with Carole helping to take her children to school.
