Kensington Palace has released a brand-new photo of Kate Middleton to celebrate her birthday.

The photo drop comes amid royal chaos due to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepping down as senior royals.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s decision to step down as senior members of the royal family has everyone fully spiraling, but meanwhile, Kate Middleton is out here celebrating her birthday and trying to live her best life.

Amid the chaos and drama of the Sussexes’ bombshell announcement, William and Kate hit their Instagram account to drop a fresh new photo of Kate looking relaxed AF while perched on a fence in what looks to be the countryside.

Truly, drama? What drama?

Meanwhile, Us Weekly reports that William is pretty much reeling from his brother’s big news, with a source saying, “William was blindsided by Harry and Meghan’s decision and statement” and “there’s still a rift between the two brothers. It’s sad because when they were younger, William would be the first person Harry would go to with big news like this.”

The source continued, “William is incredibly hurt, but at the same time, he has his own family to focus on and is trying to move forward with his life.”

As a reminder, Meghan and Harry dropped their news yesterday without telling anyone, and Buckingham Palace has since put out a slightly terse statement, saying, “Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage. We understand the desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through.”

Yikes! Happy birthday, Kate!
