The duchess wore a black turtleneck, tweed blazer and skirt by Michael Kors, and accessorized with a black hat, black Aquatalia boots and clutch. After services, she and husband Prince William, 33, attended a ceremony marking the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign during World War I.

The couple also joined Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh at a wreath-laying service held at a nearby war memorial on the queen's Sandringham estate.

Kate celebrated her birthday on Saturday, January 9, with a private, simple celebration at Anmer Hall, the country home that she and William recently renovated on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England. 

A source told Us on Saturday that the birthday girl wanted "a low-key celebration," adding, “Kate doesn’t like to make a fuss.”

Kate — who is mom of Prince George, 3, and Princess Charlotte, 8 months — has a busy year ahead of her.

She and William are heading to India and Bhutan together for the first time.

“TRHs look forward to following in the footsteps of previous generations of their family with their upcoming tours,” the official Twitter account for Kensington Palace tweeted on Friday, January 8, alongside an image of Princess Diana, Prince Charles and the queen.
