The Duchess of Cambridge is pretty much eternally prepared for photos to be taken of her at any moment. It seems to us as though she’s always dressed to the nines and has the hair of a non-human goddess.
Our favorite duchess moments, however, come when she isn’t necessarily posing for the cameras ― playing sports, looking adoringly at Prince William ― you get the point.
In honor of our favorite royal’s 36th birthday on January 9, check out these 36 photos of Kate looking, well, totally normal and adorably candid.
