𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 enjoyed a birthday lunch with her mother 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 & sister 𝐏𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐚 at the local French bistro - The Funghi Club in Hungerford, Berkshire.
"Every now and then something happens that sends a little fizz of excitement through the whole place and this week delivered a corker. Last Friday, in our teeny Hungerford Bistro, we had the enormous pleasure of welcoming a rather extraordinary guest.
We can already hear the chorus from Newbury: 'Go on then… who was it?' Well - none other than the Princess of Wales herself, Berkshire's very own Kate Middleton, celebrating her 44th birthday, joined by her mother Carole and sister Pippa. Right here in Hungerford.
No photos to share (you'll understand why), but the entire team on duty reported the same thing: she was utterly charming, gracious and every bit as radiant in person as you'd imagine. The jungle drums of Hungerford didn't stop beating until well into Saturday. A little moment of magic for our small bistro — and one we won't forget in a hurry. Happy Birthday."
