Kate is celebrating her 43rd birthday today and will no doubt be spoilt rotten by her family and friends after a turbulent year following her cancer diagnosis.
William spoke about the one time his gifting skills failed miserably when he appeared on the BBC's "That Peter Crouch Podcast" where he discussed the early days of his and Kate's relationship.

The podcast's hosts, Peter Crouch, Chris Stark and Tom Fordyce, were discussing the worst gifts they'd ever given their partners, with Crouch confessing to buying his wife Abbey Clancy a raincoat while another said he once gifted someone a tree.
William was asked: "Can you beat a worse present than that?"
He replied: "I probably can. I did get my wife a pair of binoculars once. She's never let me forget that.
"That was early on in the courtship, that was. I tell you what, I think that sealed the deal. She fell for me at that point."

The royal added: "I think I was convincing myself about it. I was like, 'These are really amazing! Look how far you can see!'
"And she started looking at me going, 'They're binoculars. What's going on?'...It didn't go well."
William confessed: "Honestly, I have no idea why I bought her a pair of binoculars."
