Earlier this week, Kate commemorated her milestone birthday when Kensington Palace released three special new portraits of the royal. The photos, which were taken in November at London's Kew Gardens by photographer Paolo Roversi, are worthy of a future Queen.

In one black-and-white image, Kate delivers a vintage vibe in an elegant chiffon gown. Her traditional side profile pose shows off her diamond and pearl drop earrings, which belonged to Princess Diana. Her iconic sapphire engagement ring, which also belonged to her late mother-in-law, is also on display. Instead of her signature bouncy blowout, she opts for more refined curls.
