Kate Middleton appears to lead a 'secret double life' that has been revealed over her milestone birthday, according to a royal commentator.<\/p>\n
The Duchess of Cambridge celebrated her 40th birthday yesterday with various friends, experts and insiders highlighting details of her life.<\/p>\n
Kate has blossomed into a senior member of the Royal Family after marrying Prince William but one expert believes the details on her birthday have painted a different picture of the Duchess other than the one we currently see.<\/p>\n
Speaking in her News.com.au column, Daniela Elser questions whether the \u201cperpetual exercise in regal perfectionism has removed the woman Kate really is.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She wrote: \u201cThe level of unprecedented detail about her private life that has come out over the last 24 hours or so is extraordinary and the person who emerges is a serious departure from the Kate we normally see.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd this private Kate? Well she indulges in champers after a day of royal graft, has a cheeky sense of humour and actually goes out of her way to not look fashionable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elser highlights a recent story in the Telegraph where British Vogue contributing editor Vassi Chamberlain recalls seeing Kate in a bikini on holiday as her husband was told to put his phone away by security.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cNot long ago, I was on holiday in Europe when a tall, slim figure in a bikini brushed past me \u2026 <\/p>\n
"It was only when the figure bent down to speak to her husband and son, paddle-boarding and playing around in the water, that I realised with a shock that I was seeing the Duchess of Cambridge in an entirely private, off-guard moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chamberlain recalled in the same article that Kate offered to pick up her parents at a dinner party, according to a conversation she had with the royal's father Michael Middleton, despite the Duchess having a driver who could have picked them up.<\/p>\n
She also revealed Kate\u2019s willingness to help out as Chamberlain spoke of the time she went in the kitchen to scrub an oven dish after a housekeeper was unwell.<\/p>\n

Kate celebrated her birthday by releasing three photographs taken by renowned fashion photographer Paolo Roversi.<\/p>\n
He said: "Taking the portrait of Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge was a true honour for me and a moment of pure joy.<\/p>\n
"I was moved by her warmth and friendly welcome and enchanted by her shining eyes that reflected the loveliness of her soul and her smile showing the generosity of her heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
