Queen Elizabeth takes after Queen Victoria in at least one way – Britain’s current ruling monarch, like her great-great-grandmother, is also an admirer of Charles Dickens.

Big Bash or
Cozy Gathering?

We’ll know in a short time, but it now appears that Kate’s 30th birthday celebrations will be reserved and low-key – not much of a surprise, really, and quite in keeping with the Duchess of Cambridge’s own public persona.

30th Birthday,
Catherine,
Duchess of
Cambridge!

Kate Middleton’s come a long way from the five-year-old pictured in this photo from her family’s collection. Her 30th birthday on Monday (Jan. 9) marks the unique and momentous changes in the personal life of a woman who, over the course of the past year, has become one of the most closely observed people on the planet. You all know the wedding photos, and the pictures from her now obligatory royal trips and visits, so we thought that on Kate’s birthday it would be appropriate to look at a few images that represent some of the more personal and less “official” parts of her life.

It sounds like the type of fictional murder mystery that the English virtually invented – except that in this case, the body is very real.
