A few days ago, Kate Middleton celebrated her 44th birthday, and as a sign of the affection he feels for her, King Charles III reportedly broke protocol to give her a very special gift: according to reports, he gave her an "early crown," making clear not only his appreciation but also the importance the Princess of Wales holds in the current monarchy.
The close relationship between King Charles III and Kate Middleton has long been known: according to the British press, the cancer both suffered brought them closer together, as they were both battling the same disease and perfectly understood what the other was feeling.

The King and the Princess of Wales supported each other during hospital treatments and official engagements, which is why Charles recently reportedly granted Kate the authority to issue royal orders.
A palace official told RadarOnline that Charles will gift William's wife an item that comes from a deeply personal place and signifies his recognition that she will soon be crowned queen. "It is likely to be one of the late Queen Elizabeth's treasures," the insider said, leading to speculation that it will be a tiara belonging to the late sovereign.
The source added that the gift would be "as if Kate were being crowned in advance," with great emotional weight, since Charles prefers items with history and sentiment over those that are purely ceremonial.
By giving her this 'early crown,' King Charles is sending a clear message to the world and to Kate herself: she is the key successor and the future queen consort. These types of gestures, which deviate from strict royal etiquette, are rare and demonstrate the affection the King feels toward the wife of his son and heir, Prince William.
Palace sources say the King values Kate Middleton's sense of duty and composure, viewing her as a 'stabilizing presence' who has earned the respect of the people of the United Kingdom.
